Re: will
If the father had a will that left property to mother, brother only needed consent from mother for transfer of real estate.
Since mother gifted property to brother, it is not in her estate to transfer to you when she dies.

Re: will
There could be problems if your mother didn"t receive enough under your dads will if they were married.I would need to speak to you to help evaluate this situation. If you need help you can e-mail me your phone number and I will call you to discuss.
