See an attorney. Go to probate court and try to get yourself appointed Personal Representative. Once you are appointed PR, you will have the legal authority to act on behalf of your brother's estate.
Re: siezed property
I agree with the previous answer. However, knowing nothing about the assets of the estate, it may not be necessary to have a probate case. It may be with certain affidavits you could establish your authority to act. Did your brother have a will? If not, his heirs at law have rights to his property.
