I don't know what VA Probate Law says about your parent's estate. Generally speaking, if they left the house to your brother, it can be his if complies with VA probate procedures. If there is no will by either parent, VA intestate law applies and you should consult a VA attorney to determine the extent of your share and what you can do with it.
