In the settling of the estate, the court appointed Administrator has all the power, by law. She has the authority and responsibility to settle the estate according to state law under the supervision of the court. The heir-at-law has no power. If the Administrator is not performing her duties the heirs can request she be replaced. However, one of the reasons the law provides for the appointment of an estate representative is to avoid disagreements among heirs and have one person in charge.
