Its okay. We needed to launch a site ASAP, in the end we managed to contact the one who had registered it on netlify and once he deleted it we were able to use that domain , we finished all the procedures and now its live

I have added TXT record for my domain. I have prove that I own the domain. Actually my brother was building the site for me, he stopped and I had to continue, he isn’t available now to remove the domain’s DNS records from netlify even though he has removed the domain from his netlify account. I want full access to my domain.
