The claims of the estate are handled by the person who has been appointed as the adminstrator or executor. It sounds as though your brother has been named the administrator/executor. You may be an heir of the estate, depending on whether there was a will and you were identified as an heir, so you have an interest in the estate-but the lawyer works for your brother. You should consult with an attorney to assist in obtaining a status report.
