It's not his house yet, legally speaking.
It's still the "brothers" and his "room mates" until Probate updates the deed/property interest transfer.
Just a thought.. and not sure if accurate:
-As Trustee, you might be able to access the current utilities account with the Certificate of Death, trustee papers, etc, and be obligated to identify all occupants.
-If they have no signed lease or contract on record, he might be able to get a temporary restraining order.
-Then after the estate settles, they might be liable for utilities used in the interim.
-My guess is that the estate will probably be responsible for all but it's another angle to try.
In the meantime, you might be able to give 24/72 hour access notice and video the condition of everything..
An hour or two with a probate attorney with all questions would be money well spent. imo
