You can tell your mother that she is a grown up and she has to figure it out for herself. If you want to be paid for your taking care of her, then tell her that she has to deed the house to you while she keeps a life estate. That way, she can stay in the house but you get it when she dies.

Possibly, yes, it could go $75,000/$25,000 - joint accounts are not probate assets unless they are brought in - to be brought in requires a finding after allegations, that they were accounts of convenience and not intended as a gift at death - the burden is on the person asserting that the account(s) were for "convenience" of the person who died - you would need an experienced probate attorney to guide you through that maze - of course, if the brother who was on the account values familial relationships, chances are he would "share" that money with his brother - but you only get to choose friends, not family - and those kinds of fights are what probate is all about sometimes!
