This depends on the state in which the decedent died, so those laws must be checked. However, in such a case, all states provide for going to court to get an order or judgment directing the executor to account within a certain period of time or risk being held in contempt of court, removed as executor and being stripped of his/her commissions. Some states may have more formal procedures than others to force a recalcitrant executor to file the account, but all states have some type of redress.

Perhaps nothing will happen, because most states provide that when there are more than one executor the majority rules except where the majority is acting contrary to the interests of the estate and beneficiaries. The executor suing will probably have to prove more than there being a difference of opinion as to what should be done during administration. Such differences might involve the choice of the bank in which the estate account should be placed. If, say, the reason for the majority's choice is ease of banking with no difference in interest rates, the court would side with the majority. If the chosen bank has a lower interest rate on the estate account the court would side with the single executor. In addition, one or more of the executors might be removed as executor depending on the facts.
