Was the estate the beneficiary of the IRA or instead were you and your brothers the designated beneficiaries on the IRA account? (The fact that you were able to empty the IRA suggests that the estate was the beneficiary, but I want to make sure that that was the case since you also said "I" inherited an IRA, which is inconsistent with a distribution to the estate.)
If the estate was the beneficiary, did you have agreement from the heirs of the estate for the estate to receive a distribution of the entire inherited IRA?
