Is it illegal to occupy a house that is in probate?

Whose name is on the deed? If it's your mother's property, why would that be any different if it were your neighbor's property? You have as much right to stay in your deceased mom's estate as you do the neighbor's which is zero right. The property is owned by someone other than you. Having said that, is there a way to legally live in there.maybe. Arguably, if you are appointed the personal representative by the court you could occupy the residence for a small period of time on the basis that you are preparing it for sale and that you can do it cheaper than hiring a bunch of other people to do it. But you better be doing that, because your siblings, assuming they are beneficiaries, are entitled to a fiduciary obligation by the personal representative that you are doing all you can do to protect their interest in their inheritance. Now I wouldn't advise you to do this. Instead, you need to first figure out where the will is, file it with the court, get an attorney to probate the estate and file a petition for determination of homestead and get the property distributed accordingly. You have a lot to do before you can even begin to consider taking possession. So to answer your question, yes, if your name is not on a deed, lease or some other instrument giving you the authority on the property, then it is illegal.

What can be done on an incorrectly filled out title?

Make an appointment with the DMV, take the paperwork you do have, and ask the DMV representative how to best complete the transaction. I would guess they can give you some paperwork for the wife to sign that you can mail to them to complete, but the DMV can best advise you on this.

Can my brother sell a property without letting me know even if I’m the one who has the power of attorney?

Suggest you obtain the services of a probate litigation lawyer to advise your brother to stop his actions as you hold the POA as to your mom's financial transactions, and to advise him to not be bothering your mother who has dementia, as she does not have the mental capacity to know what she is doing. You may want to inquire of the lawyer about obtaining a conservatorship on your mother as to her person and estate, and have you appointed as her conservator.
