Hi DEBRA,
As you said your brother signed a quitclaim deed to his son before he re-married, he does not hold any interest in the property. Thus his new wife too does not have any claim to the property, unless he quitclaims it back to them. Her name might be there on the mortgage, but as long as she is not on the title, she cannot claim an interest in the property.
