our so we can settle on it but our stepbrother keeps us out of our father’s house. Which hinders the process now a lot of the assets we were going to use and selling of the property to cover final expenses is being held up.

I am so sorry for your loss.  If you and your sister are already appointed as the Administers of the estate then you have the power to evice your step-brother from the home.  You would not file an amdendment but likely an Affidavit of Heirship showing who are the children and the family tree, so to speak.  It is an affidavit prepared by a person who is not related or stands to inherit under intestacy but is familiar with the family.  I think it may be time to get legal help.  Good luck.
