In Texas is it legal to deduct expenses from money received for sale of parent's house?

My husband's older brother is selling their parent's home after their mom's death. The will divides the sale of the house in 5 parts (5 brothers) but the oldest one wants to deduct from the rest of the 4 brothers money for repairs he made to the house (no brother was told about these repairs) and also for out of pocket expenses from their mom's funeral. Can he deduct these expenses without notifying the rest of the family prior to selling the house?
