Dear Michelle,
Please be informed that we are not a law firm and we must not give you legal advice. We strongly recommend you to consult an attorney in regards to this matter.
If your mother did not express her will in regards to who must take care of funeral and other matters, most likely, you and your brother will share the expenses.
With regard to the life insurance: you are supposed to receive two separate checks from insurance co: one for your brother as beneficiary and the other for you as a beneficiary.
Best regards,
Legal Helpmate Corp.
