A will should not be notarized. Either it must be COMPLETELY in her own handwriting, signed and dated, or she can use a form and sign it in the presence of two witnesses who are not related to her or to any beneficiary under the will.

Nothing can make you sign any document with respect to the the house. Depending on the terms of your mother's will, however, you may end up owning that house with your brother in some fashion. If your mother had no will, then the house likely passes to you and your brother, with the same result. You thus may need to resolve this with your brother in some fashion. The only this may not happen is if your mother's will says that either you or your brother do not receive an interest in the house in question.
