Best Answer

A court appointed executor must settle the estate with as much expediency as possible. When the executor acts in an unreasonable manner a complaint an be filed with the court. The court will hear the evidence and if it decides the executor is not performing their duties appropriately it can issue a court order to compel the executor to act. If the neglect continues the beneficiaries can request the executor be removed and a successor appointed.

You should speak with the attorney who is handling the estate.
