Dear Sir/Madam

We are 5 siblings in my family:

third and forth born: one fatherfirst( Epileptic and classified as disabled) and second born : one fatherlast born : his father married our mother

our story:

 We moved into our four roomed house when we were only 4 siblings years before our mother started dating our step dad who eventually moved in with us and in 2012 were blessed with our last born sibling . i then extended our house from a 2 bedroom into a 6 bedroom house for all to have own bedrooms & privacy.Our mother died in 2018 and our family house was registered under her name 

Our mother died in 2018 and our relationship especially amongst  myself and number 2 & 3 took a dive. no one was prepared to stay with our epileptic brother so I had to bring him to my house which is around 180 kms away from home.

our step dad died last year November which left our family house still registered under our mother.

Number 2 sibling is occupying that house with his wife and kids .  we are in a situation where the three of us ( number 1,2 and 5) feel that we shoul sell the house and split the money into five .

we are planning to buy a new sight and build our brother a house of his own as our greatest fear is what will happen in the event i die and my wife and kids refuse to stay with my brother

what would be the best way to resolve above

thanks for your advice and assistance
