My sister-in-law is asking about her getting my brother’s share in the will if he dies before the estate is settled. Would we need to give her his share if he were to die?

If your brother died after you rparents, then regardless of whether the state has yet been settled, his share of the estatre goes to his own estate to be divided accoding to the terms of his Will or, if he had no Will, state law.
