Your brother has no power as the executor until he has been appointed by the court. Once he has been appointed he will have the power to settle the estate according to the provisions in the will and according to the state probate laws under the supervision of the court. If he abuses his power you can complain to the court. If he has mishandled the estate he will be required to pay the missing funds to the other heirs.
