Your mother, your brother's wife and his two children alone shall inherit the estate equally. Each will get one fourth share. Your father being a Class II legal heir will not be entitled to any share.

It depends on whether it is self acquired or not . If it is a self acquired property then it will go to his class 1 legal heirs if there is no will. Normally one third will go to the wife and another one third will go to both children and the balance one third will go to the mother.

From your question it is not clear what religion you belong. If you are a hindu, the property belongs to your brother have to divide into four. One part for mother, one for wife, and one part each for children.
