Most laws of intestate succession provide only for blood relatives to inherit, sometimes followed by step-relations (of the half-blood, by marriage). This would not usually include any in-laws who are not also of the same blood.
In the case of an "uncle": his surviving spouse and any direct descendants would inherit the entire estate before going to his parents and their direct descendants (i.e., other uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and their children...), and nowhere does it say, "or the spouse (in laws) of such descendants..."

What if you have a General Warranty Deed with your brother and he dies unmarried does the property become yours?
A general warranty deed guarantees that the grantor is conveying clear title to the property. It does not govern who gets the property when one co-grantee dies. The passing of the interest of a co-owner upon death is addressed by the tenancy recited in the deed. If no tenancy was recited you both acquired the property as tenants in common and if one dies that interest would pass according to their will or if intestate, as intestate property. If you acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then your brother's interest would automatically pass to you and you would become the sole owner of the property. See the related question below for state-by-state intestate property laws.
