My parent has died and I am buying out my brother as beneficiary

Hi, my mum died and myself and my brother are her beneficiaries. My brother wants me to buy him out of the house.<br> I know I need to put the house in my name but it will result in me owning two houses. I need advice on stamp duty tax please and the process I need to do now I have probate. Many thanks
