More details to this question:
She changed the will prior to her death and gave my brother a life estate to her home. My question is does he have to compensate me somehow? Also she had shares of stock which he has put in an estate account and not distributed.

How do you know there is a will? You should file an administration proceeding, which gives you half. That will smoke him out to file the will. If he does nothing, you will be in charge and can do whatever you want and you will get half of the assets. If he files the will, then you can get the court to order things.
