Wa ʿAlaykum Salām Wa Raḥmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh
The money that was stolen from your uncle is primarily due to him. However, since he had passed on, that money is now due to his estate in which case his Islamic legal heirs will inherit that according to their proportionate shares as laid out by the Islamic Law of Succession.
