Once they have their letter of authority, they should be able to access the account. Then they can change the account.
The court will look at the Will to determine if an alternate executor is named. If not, then the state probably has a list of people, in order, who should be named as administrator of the estate. Relationship to the deceased executor is irrelevant.
If your grandmother is still living, you can't. If she is deceased, the executor of the will is required to notify you if you are in the will. If there is no will, and your parents are deceased, then you should contact the probate court and/or executor.

Yes, the person named by the deceased as administrator of the will is called the executor. The job of the executor is (out of the deceased's estate) to settle all the deceased outstanding debts and pay for the funeral. Then the executor adds up everything in the deceased's estate, pays any outstanding taxes and any inheritance taxes that may be due and presents the account of all this along with the will to a special court called a probate court. If the court is happy with what has been done the executor is then granted a probate document which allows him dispose of the remainder of the estate as the person's will instructs. Without the deed of probate, companies like banks and stockbrokers will not accept the executors instructions to do things with the deceased's property.The filing of the will is the act of presenting it (and the accounts) to the probate court.
Yes, you have to pay any debts owed by deceased from estate proceeds. It depends on the state, but generally as the administrator of the estate, you, the executor, are responsible for paying debts 'with the estate itself'. You are generally not obligated to pay out of your own assets.
"Will annexed" and "with will" refer to situations where a deceased person has left a valid will but without specifically appointing an executor. In such cases, the court appoints an executor to manage the estate.
The estate is responsible for the maintenance of the property. The administrator or executor of the estate can submit a claim on behalf of the estate.

This is a very interesting question. If someone dies and owes money to the IRS, the Executor (the person who takes responsibility for the deceased person's estate) is then responsible for settling the person's debts (using the deceased person's estate, not their own money or assets). The Executor is responsible for collecting and arranging for payment of debts of the estate and approving or disapproving creditors' claims. The money in the estate must be used to pay off the person's debt. If, however, the deceased person does not have any money in the esate to be able to pay off the tax liability, the debt DOES NOT transfer to the Executor UNLESS there was a joint liability with the deceased (if the Executor is the widow or widower of the deceased, and the two had filed joint returns, the liability will be assessed to the Executor). Otherwise, the Executor will need to contact the IRS, provide a death certificate and evidence that the estate is unable to pay off the liability. The debt should then be canceled once and for all. For information on claiming a refund for a deceased person, you'll need to file a Form 1310.
