Your uncle can transfer the house to you with a quitclaim deed.
A quitclaim deed releases your uncle's entire right, title and interest in the house to you.
The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary.  The quitclaim deed becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's office).
