Jermaine Jackson claims brother Michael's Neverland ranch will be sold "over my dead body."
Jermaine - who performed in The Jackson 5 with Michael - says there is no way the 2,800 acre Californian estate will ever leave the family.
He told gossip website TMZ.com: "It's not for sale and it never will be. Over my dead body will it be sold."
Jermaine also rubbished claims Neverland was due to be auctioned unless Michael could raise a staggering $24.5 million.
He said: "That's a myth."
Despite Jermaine's protestation, it was recently revealed Michael agreed a deal with Fortress Investment Group LLC to refinance the property.
Michael's lawyer L. Londell McMillan said: "They've sorted out a confidential agreement. Neverland and Michael Jackson are fine."
Fortress Investments originally loaned Jackson $300 million to settle his debts.
Jackson hasn't lived at Neverland since June 2005, when he moved to Bahrain. Last week, it was revealed Michael and his family are moving to Devon after finding a hideaway in the quaint town of Barnstaple, in the South West of England.
Michael's brother Tito said: "My family love North Devon and the wonderful countryside and friendly people, I'm really looking forward to buying a home here. Michael likes it here too, as no one bothers him."
