The answer

If a brother wishes to embarrass his siblings and take their share of the inheritance, knowing they are displeased, it is not permissible for him to do so. This is because what is taken by the sword of modesty is forbidden, and it involves moral coercion. He must be confronted with their displeasure. The same ruling applies to the siblings if they wish to embarrass their brother and take his share.
