Answer 1

A copy of your late uncle's will is available at the address below:
You will need his name date of birth and his last address and date of death.
you can also telephone [phone] and ask for the Probate Registary

Answer 2

Your best bet is to contact your local Surrogate's Court Clerk to see if a Will has been filed. Either way you need to file the appropriate paperwork to become the representative of his estate. Then and only then will you have access and a say in what happens with your uncles possessions. But do it soon because there are time statutes in every state!

Answer 3
