More details to this question:
My father passed 5 years ago and left his estate to my mother. She passed a year and a half ago and in her will named my brother the PA and he and I are to split the estate half and half. My brother has yet to even start the probate process and now is saying he is going to move into my parents house and start a B&B business. He makes no mention that I own half the house or how he plans on handling this situation. I don’t know what to do

If you have a copy of the Will, hire a local probate lawyer to submit it to probate.
If you do not, hire a local probate lawyer to file the SC equivalent of an Application for Determination of Heirship and Issuance of Letters of Administration and settle your mother's estate (50-50 after paying debts).
