Do I need to be executor or do I qualify to be that since it’s all being left to me?

Because your uncle has a daughter, she is legally entitled to take his property when he passes away under Texas law (assuming he is unmarried with no other children). Your uncle will need to execute a simple will that states you are to inherit from him rather than his daughter. This can be done for a small fee with a reputable estate planning attorney.

Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

If you provide the bank with a certified copy of your letter of office that should be sufficient to gain access to any bank account held in your husband's name. If the bank account was a joint account the account would not be in your husband's estate. It would be owned by the surviving joint tenant. The death certificate would give them authority to turn the account over to the surviving joint tenant. As the executrix you can require the bank to provide you with information on all of his accounts, including the title on all of his accounts.

If a will is not signed or notarized, is it still active or null and void?

In order for a will to be legally valid in Texas it must be signed by the testator in the presence of two adult witnesses. If the will is not signed by the person making the will (the testator), it is not a valid will.
