An heir does not have any authority over the distribution under a will. Once the estate has been filed for probate the executor is provided with that authority by the court. The executor can take suggestions about how the personal property should be divided and should take care to set personal feelings aside and be fair about the distribution. However, making the distribution of the estate is the executor's legal responsibility.
