What is the remedy when an executor withholds property?

A court appointed executor must settle the estate with as much expediency as possible. When the executor acts in an unreasonable manner a complaint an be filed with the court.

What happens if the family of a deceased person object to the executor of the will?

I am not an attorney. You could mean that family don't like the person chosen to be the executor, or that family object to something the executor is doing. Not liking the person is petty, and not worth getting upset about. The executor was chosen by the deceased, and if the will is in order and if the executor is doing everything properly, then you just suck it up until the assets are distributed. If the executor is not following the exact specifications in the will, then there is a problem. Family should be able to obtain a copy of the will, and if the executor is misbehaving then probate court has to come into the picture. Even when there is a will, the process is handled by probate court, although the process is much more streamlined when there isa will. But the provisions of the will have to be determined to be legal by probate court, and no executor can simply do what he pleases without regard to the provisions of the will. It sounds like probate court may be able to help you.
