Is there anywher i can find out if this is true?? thanx in advance

You can't find out if is true - there is no register of wills in the UK.

You can find out if the brother has obtained probate for a will (and if he has buy a copy) or obtained Letters of Administration from the Probate Office - but this is after the event.

The brother will have sworn under oath to the Probate Office that there is no will if he has ontained Letters of Administration.
