Suggest strongly you obtain the services of a probate lawyer to draft an amendment to the ill, which will have to be witnessed as you sign, and a notary is not a proper witness.

The house has to go through probate as from your question I assume there is no beneficiary deed. The two of you will have to decide who will be personal representative or you can be co-personal representatives. See an attorney for more details.

Yes, you can refuse to sign. But something has to be done; either the estate is administered and you get half of the house (or proceeds of sale of the house)[assuming only two siblings, no spouse] or else you disclaim your inheritance and your brother gets it all. If you won't disclaim, and you won't accept your half, then the estate administrator will have to turn your half over to the Division of State Lands, I suppose.
