I assume your father has passed away. If so, you are an heir to your grandfather’s estate and have a right to ask the Brantley County probate court to open an estate for your grandfather. You (and your siblings) stand as equals to your uncle. DO not sign anything documents without first speaking with a lawyer about the document you are asked to sign. Your uncle may be filing a Petition for Letters of Administration, and you will want to sign that document if you trust your uncle to handle things appropriately.
As for finding a will, you could start by calling each lawyer in the area to see if he ever prepared a will for your grandfather. You can call the Brantley County Probate Court to see if they have one on file for your grandfather. Otherwise, you are probably out of luck in locating a will that someone does not want you to find.
