You file the will. Your brother handles the transfering of the apartment building.

Usually the Executor would manage all the paperwork, though if the apartment building is a non-probate asset then he could probably file the paperwork for that piece.
Feel free to contact me if you need assistance.

You will need to file papers with the probate court assuming you accept your appointment as executor. If your mother resided in the Columbus area contact my office for a free consultation.
