Re: explanation of question
Go on the internet and look at article 4 of the eptl that should answer your question. Better yet, call an estate lawyer and have your mom's estate set up pronto. Depending on the amount of $ your mom has the couple of thousands of dollars you spend could be a wise investment. Unless of course you want your uncle to steal everything...
Be proactive time is not on your side!!!!
