What is wrong with that? If your mother has made out her will she is the one who decides who gets what. If he lives with her it is only logical that he should get her estate. You may live in a different State and have your own possessions. Why would you be jealous? You will eventually have to make the same decisions regarding your own estate.

@Diotrephes so it's ok that he doesn't work at his age and is seemingly waiting for my Mom to die to take over her assets

Does he take care of her? If so, that is work. If he doesn't have an income, he won't be able to afford her property even if it's fully paid for. He will have to sell it all off and because he is financially irresponsible, will quickly end up broke and homeless. The question then becomes, will you help him when that happens?

So, you wouldn't follow your own mother's example and take care of one of your kids who needed it regardless of age?

@Diotrephes he plays video games and smokes weed all night long, he's just lazy

I can understand that. We all have our limitations, many of which are self-imposed. From your comments he seems to be intellectually deficient. Did your parents always coddle him? I'm sure that he was a major disappointment to his father, with his lack of drive and ambition.
You need to realize that you don't control the situtation. So, don't go down the road of being jealous and envious. Try to reach a cordial and respectful resolution with your mother and brother. If he does get her estate he will quickly lose it because he is financially ignorant. That happens to countless people everyday.

As it says in Ecclesiastes 2:17-23 (ERV) ="17 This made me hate life. It was depressing to think that everything in this life is useless, like trying to catch the wind.
18 I began to hate all the hard work I had done, because I saw that the people who live after me would get the things that I worked for. I will not be able to take them with me. 19 Some other person will control everything I worked and studied for. And I don’t know if that person will be wise or foolish. This is also senseless.
20 So I became sad about all the work I had done. 21 People can work hard using all their wisdom and knowledge and skill. But they will die and other people will get the things they worked for. They did not do the work, but they will get everything. That makes me very sad. It is also not fair and is senseless.
22 What do people really have after all their work and struggling in this life? 23 Throughout their life, they have pain, frustrations, and hard work. Even at night, a person’s mind does not rest. This is also senseless."
I don't care about her assets, I worry about the stress it puts on her, she's getting older
That is something that most of us will have to face. It has been a concern throughout history. As it says in Ecclesiastes 2:17-23 (ERV) ="17 This made me hate life. It was depressing to think that everything in this life is useless, like trying to catch the wind.
