It is quite strange that your father left a will without giving anything to you even while you took full care of him and your brother who left home 15 years ago got the lion's share.

Wait for your brother to file application for probate and oppose it through a lawyer.

You may file a suit for partition of the propeprty; and if your brother set up the will to defeat your claim, you may challenge the same as having been executed under 'unde influence' and medical conditions.
