Re: Who would the land
It depends on your father's will. If there wasn't one, his portion of the land might be split among all of his biological and adopted children depending of if there are any outside the marriage. If your mother paid taxes for all of the years, she would be entitled to reimbursement from uncle for his portion the taxes. In the alternative, she could sue for total ownership if she can prove up adverse possession of the property, but that would involve a lawsuit and she might lose.
