Question

Our whole plot is 8 acres. My father had given me 2 acres earlier since I am the youngest son. But when he wrote the will, he included the 2 acres in the will stating that 4 acres belong to me and 4 acres belong to my brother. In actuality, we both are supposed to get 3 acres each [excluding what he had given me already]. What can I do about it now?

Answer

Unless the earlier grant of two acres was done in writing and filed with the clerk's office-there is no conveyance. So the will dictates what the division will be.
