If there is a will, it must go through probate. You say your uncle is the "over seer" but is he the personal administrator or executor of the will? Whoever is must open a case with the probate court. Then, if the house was willed to you, the legal papers will be filed to change the ownership. You will likely need an attorney to help you with this, or you can try a legal documents service. Google legal documents service in your state for assistance.
