Do I have to do what the power of attorney tells me to?

This is a mess. You can do what you want with a joint account. The potential problem I see is that your uncle could claim elder financial abuse, if you are not careful. I would try to work with him, to the extent that the two of you can agree and cooperate. If this is not possible, you have two alternatives that I can see. You can withdraw all money in the account that is yours and turn the remainder over to your uncle, or you can retain a lawyer and insist that all communications be handled through the lawyer. Unless you believe that your uncle is not properly caring for your grandmother, I would see if you can work something out.

If you cannot find the original will, and nobody has a copy, the only thing you can do is go through an intestate probate. The court will not create a will based on what somebody believes it said. However, once a personal representative is appointed, that person can require that anyone with a copy of the will produce it so it can then be probated.
