A Will can only convey that which the testator (i.e. the person who made the Will), owns at the time of their death. Therefore, if an asset is transferred prior to the testator's death, then that transfer will stand. In other words, your brother owns the house. The only way you may be able to still make a claim here is if your brother used undue influence over your mother in order to get her to title the house in his name. At this point, you may want to consult directly with an attorney who handles these type of cases.
