Your mother alone will be the legal heir to your deceased unmarried brother.

According to Hindu Succession Act, if the deceased person is an unmarried male, his property will be distributed based on class-I and class-II categories. His immediate relatives, including his father, sisters and brothers, can claim his property under the class-I category.

If the property is ancestral, both the brothers have an equal share in the same being coparceners.
