He doesn't have to sign anything to deed land to him. If he doesn't want it, he can sign a disclaimer.

The brother who does not want his interest in the property needs to sign a quit claim deed over to you (or directly to the charity) relinquishing his interest in the property. If he quit claims it to you in your capacity as Executor, then you can then deed the property to charity or to a third party.
