It depends upon the extent of his authority as attorney-in-fact. If the appointment gives him permission, he can clean out the house. Otherwise, you my be able to sue (on her behalf) for any conversion that the uncle has done. Conversion is whre he converts her stuff to his ownership or personal use.

Good luck
