I would strongly suggest that you seek the help of an attorney in your area. I am assuming first that all of you are heirs under the Administration of the estate. There is where the decisions have to be made about the assets and transferring same. You and your brother could have possibly renounced any interest in the house but the time to do so may have expired. The Administrator of the estate is the person who can sell the house without transfer in to anyone's name. It is done via Executor's deed. The funds from the sale go back in to the estate. Good luck.
