VerifiedI would write to the solicitor handling the estate setting out the items you would like.
That way they could be set aside for you and you can obtain them without interferring with your step uncle's paranoia.
It may be as well that when he sees what you want and that they are personal rather than valuable he will agree to your having them
I hope this helps kindly click accept so that I get credit for my answer
Best wishes
Yours sincerely
