My mother and father gave me a generous valuable asset before they died (5 years ago now)
If you have had this for 5 years, you would have a good case.
Try to forget the bad blood. Stick to your guns. Your other siblings will support you.
If it had been in your father's house when he died, it would be a different matter.
But check with the solicitor advising on probate if there is one. I have some vague idea that gifts given within a certain time before the death are regarded as part of the inheritance.
