Re: house left in will
You may enter into an agreement with your brother that he will either buy you out, or pay you for his use of the premises.
If you cannot agree, you may start a partition proceeding to sell the property and divide the asset.

Re: house left in will
If the will has been probated, the terms of that will control how the property will be divided. If you can't reach an agreement, you can seek court intervention to enforce the property award.
