Re: My Home.

As long as the house remains solely in your mother's name and she continues to want you to visit, you should have no problem. Your concern is what happens if anything happens to your mother, major illness or her passing away. What will she do with the house? If she leaves it to your brother only, or puts his name on the Deed if she were to get ill, you could have a problem. I suggest talking to her about this, express your concern and see what she thinks.
