OP. No will? In most states, you and your sibling each own a half interest in the house. It should be valued as of the date of your mother's death. If its worth $100,000, you own half. You could force a judicial sale, but the easiest thing would be for the brother to buy you out for $50,000. There's no tax consequences-you are selling a $50,000 asset for $50,000. Piece of cake for the lawyer.
