being an appointee

[sammmo]

I am the appointee for my brothers money.. he's 67 yrs old and in an old folks home..prior to this he has always been in institutions as he's deaf and has autism..His pension etc is paid into an account in my name..this was not my choice the social security people said this is how it is normally done.. what i would like to know is what happens to this money when my brother dies.. I have a sister who regularly visits him and also i regularly visit him my other siblings hav'nt seen him for at least 20 yrs.. he has'nt made a will..and it would be difficult for him to actually make one due to his mental capacity.. I've already bought him a funeral plan out of his money so thats dealt with but if he were to go today there will still be a few thousand left in his account.. i hav'nt a clue what i should do so i'm looking for some good advice please....

It should be distributed in accordance with the rules of intestacy.

Depends on what other relatives there are but if those you mention are all there are it should be divided equally (after paying any debts) between all the siblings
