Your brother is the executor. It's his job to administer the estate, not yours or your siblings. Unless he has breached a fiduciary duty [and it does not appear so based on your question] then there is not much that can be done. If he has breached a fiduciary duty, the beneficiaries can go to court. In addition, if you are not happy with how he handled things [e.g. you feel he sold the house at below market value] then have the house professionally appraised ASAP. You can contest his final accounting, and if you can prove your case to the judge, he will be subject to surcharge.
