You will need a certified copy of your brother's death certificate. If you are acting on behalf of his estate, you will need a copy of your appointment as executor or administrator of the estate.
If you want to close the account under a state's law that allows funds to be paid to a next of kin, you won't need an appointment, but will need some documentation acceptable to the bank that you are a next of kin, and the bank may have other requirements. The requirements vary from state to state and from bank to bank. Check with your bank about these requirements.
