The Executor can withhold money from heirs for a "reasonable" time in order to pay all debts and expenses of the Estate and to make sure that the claim period has elapsed and all tax returns have been filed. Once the claim period has passed and all debts, taxes and expenses have been paid, the Executor can satisfy all specific bequests and then distribute the residue to the proper beneficiaries. Any outstanding claims or tax liabilities could delay this payment (i.e. challenge of a claim or an audit of a tax return). This is a very general overview and is not meant to be legal advice, as you need to consult your attorney about your specific facts and situation.

Estates do not use power of attourney, they are managed by the executor(s) named in the will. It is the executors LEGAL DUTY to do what the will instructs - if an executor does not want to do this then a court will need to decide what to do.
When one executor of three does not agree, it can lead to delays in the administration of the estate and potential conflicts among the executors. The dissenting executor may refuse to sign necessary documents or take actions required for the estate’s management, which can complicate decision-making. In such cases, the other executors may need to seek mediation or legal advice, and if disagreements persist, they might have to petition the court for guidance or to resolve the dispute.
