Im so sorry to read about what happened to your mother.  You mothers brother is wrong, and he is taking what belongs to you.  You need to stop him.  You're the legal heirs of your mothers estate, the house the van, her bank accounts everything.  He was wrong today you could not put the house into three names.  You can stop this.  What county did your mom live in? Call my office and speak to my paralegal Denise. We ca help you.
