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.

You could have a provision in your will. Also, you could obtain a restraining order using a family law attorney. As an alternative to the will, you should have some estate planning by a estate planning attorney, and have your residence fund a trust and also put a restriction clause in the trust. Lastly, you should notify the daughter by certified mail of your instruction that she not come onto your property.
