Property Dispute Property Dispute

My father bought a house in year 2004. The registry was done under two name first my fathers and second my brothers.

My father died in 2013. Since then my brother and his wife have started feeling that the house has become theirs. They have stopped respecting my mother aged 76 years.

I am divorcee with a daughter. my mother keeps my child as i am working professional. Now my brother and his wife threatens and uses abusive language and does not want my daughter also to visit that house.

Kindly advice if i have a legal right on the house or not and advice my step on it.

Also my brothers wife is in a government job so she thinks that nobody can harm her.
