Does the spouse have to buy out the heirs of the decease to get the estate?

Whether a spouse must buy out the heirs of a deceased partner to inherit the estate depends on the laws of the jurisdiction and the specifics of the deceased's will or estate plan. In many cases, a surviving spouse has a legal right to a portion of the estate, which may include community property or elective share rights. However, if there are specific bequests to heirs or if the estate is contested, the situation may be more complex. Consulting with an estate attorney is advisable to understand the rights and obligations in such cases.

A silver dollar collection was found and the executors want to inventory it but two of the beneficiaries are objecting is it acceptable for the executors to inventory it anyway?

The beneficiaries have no authority as to how an estate is to be handled. That is the duty of the executor or executrix who will be held personally and legally accountable to the court for all assets and property belonging to the deceased. Therefore the executor has a legal obligation to inventory ALL property and assets and to accurately enter them into the probate filing of the estate.
