Probably everything was done legitimate even if the other brother didn't know all the facts. Someone has to look at the paperwork to give you the right answer. There's no way to figure out the right answer to your question without looking at all the paperwork. It's not likely however that the mortgage company and the title company would do anything under the table. Just because the other brother doesn't how things turned out doesn't mean anyone did something illegal. But there's no way to know without looking at the papers.

Good luck.
