Talk to a local title company....they will know what the brother needs to do in order to have authority to sell.

I find the Oakland Housing Authority to be an institution that you can win most of the time if you learn their rules.

One is payment plan with the authority. 

The insurance company becomes your lessee with the family as the authorized residents of the property.

Always by check, mailed to a forwarding address they have provided, always made out to whomever paid the deposit when you signed the lease unless you have some written authorization by that party/parties otherwise.

I authorize and empower assignee, on his performance of all the above mentioned covenants, conditions, and payments to demand and receive of seller the deed covenanted to be given in the contract hereby assigned in the same manner and with the same affect as I could have done had this assignment not been made.
