This may seem like a funny question but is your brother deceased?  Becuase if he is not then you have no entitlement to those properties.  In fact, if he decides to sell them prior to passing you are out of luck.  If he is deceased and you are probating his estate, then you need an Executor's Deed to transfer them to you.  After that you would just mention the properties in your Will and the proposed disposition that you would like.  I might speak with an estate planner as well.  Good luck.
