Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
I live in Florida. At the present time my brother and mother are on a deed. He is not on the loan. How do I make sure that he does not get my mother's house upon her death?

To give a complete answer would require an examination of the deed.
But if all 3 names are on the deed, then something has been set up for a common ownership for the 3 of you. Whether there is a joint ownership, life estate, tenant in common, or something else I cannot say at this time.
There is a good chance that you and your brother will have some form of ownership at your mother's death.

Unless the deed is change, he will have ownership.
