How do I void a life estate in NJ? And who receives the proceeds when the home is sold, given that all parties are agreeable to sell?

You seem to have a good handle on what needs to be done - your instincts are correct.  If your uncle is unable to afford care, then yes, you can remove him from the home, and his absence from the home with extinguish the life estate.  he can also voluntarily give it up, or you can do that for him using the POA.  The sale of the property will be a bit more complicated than a normal sale because of POA and the life estate, but not anything that could not be handled by a competent attorney.  Where are you located?  I would be happy to help you with the sale.  You will also need a Medicaid consultation in that the monies you get from the sale may not have to be used for your uncle's care, depending on how you inherited the remainder of the property.  Feel free to call my office.  Good luck !

You have no right unless you can prove that you had an informal marriage.  That can be very difficult.
