If the brother has probated the will his first responsibility is to inform all the heirs at law (relatives), spouse and beneficiaries under the will; if he has filed the will for probate you should have received or will soon receive that notice.

If you think he has probated the will and you have not received notice and you are suspicious, you can go to the Probate Office in the Circuit Court and request to see the will.
