you dont say where in the world you are but in the uk it goes as such:
If this occurs it means obtaining Letters of Administration and appointing your administrators can take months and in some cases years. This can mean that your surviving spouse may have a period without access to the money that is part of your estate and this can last for some time.
In the event of intestacy there are rules that decide who gets what after your death. If the person who has died has a surviving husband or wife and there are no relatives of a certain type they the spouse will be entitled to everything. If there are children, parents or siblings (brothers and sisters) the following occurs in order of preference.
Shared between children, grandchildren or other lineal decedents else:
Shared between parents else:
Shared between siblings:
If there is no surviving husband or wife the following occurs in order of preference:
To issue on the statutory trust if there are any else:
To the parents split equally else:
To the siblings (brothers and sisters) else:
To the grand parents split equally:
To the aunts and uncles split equally:

It probably depends on what state the property is in. In California, if the person dies without leaving a will, the proceeds are divided equally among the children.

I am no lawyer, but in the UK, if someone dies without having made a will, I believe the estate goes to next of kin. If there are just the two of you, you will probably SHARE it.
GET LEGAL ADVICE. I don't think your brother can do this!
Good Luck

No because if even if does, he holds on to trust for himself and others in the family who will have a share, you can protect yourself by registering a notice on properties charges register to prevent further dealing. You should go to solicitor, will all the facts chronologically laid out.

No, all assets are to be divided by next of kin. In this case it is you and your brother. You have the right to claim your half. I would really push for it if i were you.

No, other siblings have a right to their parents property after they have passed over. Go see a solicitor/lawyer.

He has no more right to it than you do unless your mom put it in her will that he gets it, or if he has some sort of authority concerning her estate. Get an attorney if you want part of it too.

Not unless she put his name on the title before her death. Get an attorney.
