You have not been able to convey your problem properly, please redraft the same.
A person having mental illness can not be deprived from his share in the property.
Guardian / court appointed guardian will look after his interest.

If the property was in the name of father, after him it would be divided among all legal heirs.
If you presume that they would not look after the mentally ill brother, fact may be conveyed to court with a request to appoint guardian for him.
Share of mentally ill person can be sold with the permission of the court.

Yes. As your parents expired, the property of the parents will be divided equally among your 5 siblings. File a petition in the court concerned to appoint a guardian to your mentally ill brother.

Seek partition of the property, if you are unable to agree for a family settlement.

You can proceed. Any property in the name of mentally ill person can be sold through court orders.

it is better to create trust of your share in favor of your mentally challenged brother. After that there is no way to sale out the property. Your intention and interest of your brother is safe. The trust must be created by registered deed and it does not attract much stamp duty like sale or gift and it serve your purpose properly.

You should request your lawyer to take the case for mediation and settle your shares amicably.
