Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My mother did a quit claim deed on her home to my brother in 1997 (we had a falling out at the time). In 2006 she did a new will which equally divides all of her assets between the two sons upon her death. She passed away in 2009. Does my brother own the property based on the 1997 deed or does the will take precedence and the property should be equally divided? My brother is claiming sole ownership of the house.

It sounds like your brother is right unless the deed is invalid because of lack of witnesses ,etc.
