In the United States you can if the executor is not performing the functions of an executor properly. An executor can be sued to either remove him as executor, to surcharge him for losses he may have caused to the estate or to force him to do what he is supposed to, like transferring assets. If an executor causes monetary losses to the estate, he can be sued to make him reimburse the estate for the losses either from his own pocket or from his statutory commissions. All states in the US have statutes that govern the duties of executors and spell out the remedies beneficiaries and third parties have.
