It should be split between the 2 survivors.

The survivors are entitled to the proceeds. From your fact patter it appears your brother did not survive your mother. This means that you are the only survivor and the CD should be yours. The transfer of it will depend on its actual wording. Speak to the bank to see what they will need. Good luck. Sorry for your losses.
