    Prior to getting the pay out from your brother you should contact your CPA or the person that does your taxes or perhaps a financial planner as there might be a way to defer the taxes or they might have been paid through probate thus your share in cash is not taxable.

    I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
