It depends on what the Will says. The WIll directs that either taxes are paid first, of that each beneficiary is responsible fo rhis or her own taxes. Inheritance tax is based on the relatiosnhip between the decedent and the beneficiary. If your brother is not a Class A beneficiary - then taxes will be owed.
