If the house was named as a trust asset, CA allows the house to be put back into the Trust and be distributed as stated in the Trust. If your brother was alive when Mom died, then the gift was his (depending on survivorship clause) and will pass per the terms of his Will or Trust. If the brother died without a Will, then the wife and children will share in the inheritance.
