Answer:
First, determine if your uncle has abandoned his Power of Attorney. If he still holds it, he may need to authorize you to facilitate the transfer to Alabama. If your grandmother is competent, she could grant you Power of Attorney. If not, you might need to pursue Guardianship in Alabama to gain the legal authority to make decisions on her behalf.
