IF the sales contract to your Brother did not provide an agreement as to who would pay, then it lis likely going to be pro-rated between your Dad (or you if you were living there and want to cover it) and the buyer Brother. Its a family thing so it seems like you folks might want to work this out. Would have been nice if everyone who got money out of the sale paid your Father's share, which they can still do by agreement!
