I feel the executor has full power over the heirs! Implead into the probate proceedings started up by the executor and question the anomalities you have seen or apprehend. Whatever be it, remember that the executor is the legal representative of the deceased for all purposes, and all the property of the deceased vests in him as such. Therefore before going into a protracted legal battle, it would be best to question the executor in a private fashion; through common known friends; through the church; whatever means other than adversarial proceedings through the court. Just because, the executor is appointed by the deceased, effective from the date of death of deceased, and if you blow your cool and unnecessarily, even unwittingly antagonize the executor, you waste time, and a lot of time in meaningless philanderings in court proceedings. This should be always avoided. Approach; Question; Argue the matter; Compromise; Settle (whether it is even to a minor loss); but close the matter at the earliest. Take what is your bequest; invest it sensibly; and continue your life outside the court. Or you will see a living hell of court, within your life.
