Also the mother factor and wanting company as well from her children. this will have a negative impact on the sibling as the mother is effectively caring for him to get him to stay and become dependent on her.

If your mother wishes you to benefit from the inheritance on her death, it would be as well for her will to name only you as executor and direct that the house should be sold and the proceeds split equally between you and your brother?

Me and my brother are both executors on my mother's will. The house is to be sold with the estate to be split 50/50.

If you are unwilling to force a sale, then how about attaching a charge to the property of 50% of it's value at sale once your brother has passed away?.

Another option is to see if your brother has made a will and if he has, is there provision to leave you any property and assets he may have?.
