You need to have your mother do some estate planning immediately.

Re: personal property in mothers house
Based on your hypothetical, your mother should list the items in the house that are hers, and acknowledge the items that are yours. If possible, the list should be discussed with your brothers after it is made so that there are no questions about whose property is whose at a later date.
Good luck to you.
