More details to this question:
My uncle is going into my grandma and mothers home and telling my mother that he is taking specific items and that she is not to take them or sell them. He is asking about her jewelry and other items that are not in the home but in a safe deposit box and in Grandmother hasn't even passed at this time? Is this legal?

This is probably a breach of his fiduciary duties if he is taking property for himself that Grandma has not given him. Please get grandmother to an attorney to express these concerns.
