If the deed of the house is not in your name and the house is on your brother's land, your interest in the house could be limited. Upon your passing, the house would typically remain with your brother if he is the sole owner on the deed. Given your concern about Medicaid recovery, it would be beneficial to consult with an estate planning attorney.
