More details to this question:
My grandmother wants me to have her home now, but it is in her will that my uncle gets it. There has been a lot if stuff happen since the will was done. And we can't afford to have the will changed. In the will there was IRA accounts that he was to share with his brother, that he talked her into closing and giving him the money. Now all that's left in the will is this house and her Cadillac. Can I buy it from her and not worry that he can come take it??

Sure. If she is competent, she can deed it to you for free, sell it to you, whatever. If she is competent, do it soon, in the event she has a medical event that would render her incompetent, like a stroke or hear attack.
