A: Unable to determine your status if Mom passed away and you say your brother "took over" the house. Did mom leave a Will stating you were entitled to live there? If no Will, then you and your brother may be equal partners in this house. You need to speak with a local attorney that handles PROBATE law. This is not really LL/Tenant.
