Re: will
If there is a will and you have an interest in it, you have standing to open a probate estate to protect your rights.
In addition, the will is required to be filed with the county by the person in possession of it within 30 days of the date of death - by doing so, it becomes a public record.
I would recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney in the county where your uncle died as soon as possible.
Good luck to you.
