I bought 2 houses and but my brothers name on the deed.?
He has never but any interest in the property and I never wanted him to. I thought I needed to have someones name on the property along with mine in case I was to die without a will. Needless to say Now I want to sell the properties and because we no longer have a relationship he is refusing to take his name off of or sign the deed over to a new owner. So can I file a quit claim deed. Or is there something else I can do to force him to sign off. All documentation of invested interest is in my name and nor does he deny that he was on put on the properties deeds in case of my death. I’m going broke trying to pay the property taxes on two empty houses.
What if I don't have money for a attorney what options do I have.

You made a REALLY stupid move when you put his name on those deeds. The only way to do a quit claim is with HIS signature on the deed. You are advised to contact a qualified real estate attorney for further advice. You may end up giving your brother half of the equity in these properties.
If you were afraid that you might die without a will, why on earth did you not just write a will for a couple hundred dollars ?
