He needs a will first or, depending on where you live, the state or country may take over. If he has an annuity, there should be a beneficiary.

I disagree that he must have a will if he has nothing much.
Just ask your brother what he has, and where to find the papers.
Yes, most of anything he might have probably lists a beneficiary(s).
If not, then you can think about a simple will, or he can even give what he has to his heirs while he's still alive, and avoid waits and fees.
