Mother passed away, leaving the house to her three children. My brother cut me a check for $95k instead of the house?

What is this considered for tax purposes? I'm not that upset about the house since it's on the other side of the country, but I want to know how this will effect me come tax time?

​

Edit: The house is in California, where my mother passed. I live in NJ.
