You should bring the issue to the court immediately along with the proof. A self dealing executor is personally liable for any wrongdoing and can be removed and charged.

How do you get the beneficiary name changed on savings bonds if the owner has died?
If the owner of the savings bonds has died, then the bonds are inherited by the beneficiary, unless the beneficiary has also died in which case the bonds go to the estate of the beneficiary. If you don't want the bonds to be inhertied by the named beneficiary or the estate of the beneficiary, I would like to know what legal basis you have for taking control of those bonds. We already know that you are neither the owner (who has died) nor the beneficiary. So what is your claim based upon? I doubt that you have any legal basis to change the benefciary.
My Grandfather passed away recently and I know that I am a beneficiary to his estate. How do I find out what assets are in the trust and exactly what I am a beneficiary to?
If your grandfather left a will and the will has been filed in probate you can request the file and review any documents that have been or will be filed by the executor. The executor, and the trustee if a testamentary trust was created, will be required to file an inventory of all the real and personal property owned by your grandfather at the time of his death. Once a will has been filed in probate the estate becomes a public record.
When someone died how do you know if he left anything in the will for you?
Typically, the executor of the deceased person's estate will inform beneficiaries mentioned in the will. If you suspect that you may be mentioned in a will but have not been notified, you can inquire with the executor or contact the estate lawyer handling the matter. Additionally, wills are usually filed with the probate court, so you could check there to see if a will exists and if you are named as a beneficiary.

You can decline the responsibility. The court will appoint another executor.
