Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Quitclaim Deed

My mother passed away las year leaving my two brothers, my sister and I her house. My youngest brother lived in the house until recently as per my mother's request. She wanted to give him the oppurtunity to get on his feet. He did not give any respect to the other owners of the property as he did not take care of the home. As a matter of fact he proceeded to destroy it. He let his two dogs urinate and deficate on the floors and would not clean it up. He let the yard overgrow and would not mow it. He also let the trash bulid up and his dogs string the trash all over the yard. He did not even take care of his dogs. He abandoned the house and we had to take one of the dogs to the SPCA because it was almost dead. When we changed the locks because of his misuse he became very irate and threatened to press charges for turning the dog in. He called an officer and the officer said that we had to give him a key because he is a part owner. He stated that he wants nothing to do with the house and just wanted his stuff. How can I get him off the Quitclaim deed and make him pay for his damages?
