Re: grandson
As executor, your uncle is bound to the instructions in the will. Depending on the type of power of attorney, your uncle may or may not be able to gift to himself significant portions of your grandmother's estate.
Tampering a will would be very difficult, since a valid will requires 2 witnesses and notarization.
I suggest that you try to speak with your uncle and clear the air.
However, If you are certain that your uncle intends to distribute your grandmother's estate against her wishes, then there are some legal procedures you may be able to initiate. In this case, I strongly suggest that you retain an attorney.
