You have not mentioned the religion here. So i am considering you as a Hindu and answering the question.
As per the Hindu Succession Act, the legal heir of the unmarried male is listed below (should be considered in the same order):
1) Mother
2) Father
3) Brother, Sister and their children.

Who is the legal heir of a deceased brother?
The property of the deceased will be divided amongst the Class II legal descendants, as there are no Class I legal descendants alive. The surviving siblings (as Category 2 - class II legal heirs), would receive an equal share of the estate of the deceased brother, at the expense of all other relatives. 24-Mar-2022
What happens when an unmarried person dies?
If the deceased was not married, property division is possible.
If there are no parents, siblings, or descendants of siblings left, the estate will be divided equally between the agnates. If the deceased was single, but had children then the estate will be divided equally between his/her children.
According to the Hindu Succession Act of 1957, if an individual dies without being married and having no children, his or her parents are considered the legal heirs of that persons estate.
