Have a new executor appointed by the court, which could be you. That person will then take over the duties and execute the will. The court can appoint an attorney or bank to serve.

Should a brother charge his sister executor fees if he is named as executor but they are to share the inheritance equally?

It is up to the brother. Most state probate codes allow the executor to charge a fee for their services. Executor duties and responsibilities can take up a lot of time. If there are only two beneficiaries, that will cut down on the executor's tasks somewhat. The brother should keep detailed time sheets for any time spent on estate matters and a deteiled account of any money spent on parking, postage, copying or other costs. The brother can then decide toward the end of his duties whether he wants to charge the estate or not. The executor's fee is a cost of the estate and should be paid before any assets are distributed so that brother and sister each pay equally.

Making sure Social Security is notified. Each beneficiary is entitled to a full accounting of what the distribution of the estate is. The Executor is responsible for meeting all the requirements of the probate court and providing full documentation and valuation to the court.
