As personal representative, it is your brother's duty to gather the assets, pay the debts and distribute the rest. He is not privileged to live in the home if he did not inherit it in full and does not need to sell it to pay the debts. If that is the case, he can have any guest he likes but should first deed the house from the estate to himself personally.
