What should we do to close our deceased mother's account that's a joint account with my brother and I?

If the account is a joint account with your mother, you and your brother, the surviving joint owners can close the account and share the balance. When the account was opened the three of you should have signed signature cards and all names should be listed as account owners. One or both of you should be able to simply make a withdrawal of the balance and close the account.
