My great uncle has passed away and there are no living relatives except me. He hasn't got a will. Where does the money in the bank go and anything in regards to the estate? And what will they require of me to prove that I am his niece? Will my passport do?

You need to file a Petition to Appoint Permanent Administrator and ask that you be appointed. If you are the only living relative, you will inherit the assets after paying the bills.
