Can we sue on behalf of dead mother? (California)

Question Details: My mother (who has died), purchased a house in 1985. In 1987, she added my brother (brother A) as a joint owner to the house but he never paid anything for it. In 1996, they sold the first house and purchased another one. But the new house, only brother A is on the deed. After my mother's death, I learned from brother B, that my mother was never given any money or ownership in the 2nd house even though she was the original owner of the first house. Brother B said she was "tricked" out of the 2nd house. Is there anything my brother B or I can do, on behalf of my mother, to sue brother A?
