your name is mentioned as "tenants in common". it means that the deceased's tenant's interest passes to his or her heirs at law, and not to the surviving tenant.

since you are the coowner, he can not do any thing without your consent.

in the quitclaim states that my brother and me are tenants in common. does it mean that each us own 50% of the property? I also would like to know if a trustee is the best way to avoid that in the future creditors may put a lien on the property

It is not necessary that each of the tenants in common would hold 50% of the ownership of the property. You can put the property in the trust. This will help you in avoiding liens against the property to some extent.

Hi esvar!

Welcome to forums!

You cannot transfer your portion of the property into a living trust. You will have to place the entire property in the living trust. You can contact your brother and check out if he is ready to transfer his share of the property in to the trust. If he agrees, then both of you can contact an attorney and get the property transferred into a living trust.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

He can not do anything harmful to you. If he does, first victim will be he only.

do not sign any paper given by him without proper reading.

I won't agree that your brother will harm you in anyway but just make sure while dealing with him in property matters you are sticking to leak -proof legal documentary system.
