Re: can a brother put his name on a deed to a house

What ever papers you have on this matter including your father's will and all deeds for the property should be brought to an attorney in order to get the proper answer. If there is one deed with both names on it, the house would be included in the deed and owned by the current Grantee(s) on the Deed. Call my office for an appointment and I can give you a better answer after seeing all your documents.
