Re: Heirs not being informed about state of fathers estate
You need to immediately seek legal representation to remove the uncle as the representative of the estate based on the breach of his fiduciary duty. You at least have to enjoin the sale of the home. As for your ex's remains, since he is already cremated, that is not as pressing as what's happending with the property. This issue can be dealt with at the time of the hearing to remove the uncle as the personal representative.
