Can an executor hide information from a sibling?
Generally, the status of a person as a "sibling" is not relevant. What is relevant is whether that sibling is or is not a beneficiary under the will. An executor has an obligation to give information to the beneficiaries of the estate as named in the will, not to all the decedent's relatives. If a sibling (whether it is a sibling of the decedent or of the executor) has no interest in the estate, he/she has no rights to information about the estate. In some jurisdictions, an executor might be required to simply give that sibling notice of the probate of the will, even if the will gives that sibling nothing, but only if that sibling would inherit some part of the estate in absence of the will. As with all legal questions, the specific answer may differ from state to state depending on that state's laws. So you must check those laws to get the precise answer.
The Executor in a Will is deceased. Can a sibling of the deceased now be appointed?

How do you remove or terminate an executor or administrator of an estate?
The answer depends upon the laws of the state where the estate is. Every state has laws that give the grounds which serve as reasons to remove or terminate an acting executor.

Is there a way of removing an executor if they have moved out of the country?
Yes. Executors are forbidden from abandoning estate assets or the obligation to handle the estate properly. Some states will consider moving to another country as such an abandonment would most likely be taken as an abandonment. The state where the will was probated will have statutes that outline the situations in which an executor may be removed from office. One of those instances is abandonment of estate assets. That state's probate court will have a procedure to file a complaint alleging the facts of the abandonment and demanding that the court remove the executor. The state's laws and court rules will direct the manner in which the complaint is to be served on the executor and if service is properly made, the court will proceed to look into the matter. If the executor fails to appear, the court will remove him or her. If the executor appears and denies the allegations of abandonment, the matter will proceed to trial. If abandonment is proved at trial, the executor will be removed. If it is not proved, the executor will not be removed. However, the court might require the executor to post a surety bond to protect the beneficiaries in case the executor does abandon things in the future.
