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.

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.
