He named my other brother, alternate representative. What does that mean? I am also the beneficiary named on his bank accounts. Can I withdraw the money legally? We need it to pay his bills.

Need more details, if he is deceased the money in the joint accounts is yours and his, if it is payable on death you have no rights until his passing. See an attorney. Being nominated for personal rep grants no powers while he is still alive, and then only following appointment by the probate court.
