The moneys will go to your uncles' estates. Then the money will pass to the proper heirs.

You have done your relatives a nice favor, and you will get your reward in heaven, if they don't split the money with you. But you're not legally entitled to anything, and without proper legal authority to act on any uncle's behalf, you may have broken a number of laws.
