Does that mean the medical bills will go to her as well?

I think the answer depends on the circumstances surrounding the probate that was never finalized. It is odd that your uncle was cut out of the will and contested it but was also the Executor.

He has accepted an offer and signed a contract to sell without my consent. Can he actually sell it? Is the contract binding?

If you purchased a home during the marriage it is generally considered marital property regardless of whose name is on the mortgage and/or deed. At closing, the title company should not pass clear title without both parties signature.
