Hire an independent attorney at your expense, or, you are entitled to spend as much time as necessary with the estate attorney handling the estate - ALL at the expense of the estate. Move to the attorney's office as soon as you can - it is all charged hourly to the estate - regardless of the number of heirs.
Your attorney can file with the estate judge, a request (hearing) to replace the estate's executor, if you feel you have reasonable cause. Your attorney can petition yourself to replace the executor.
You are correct, in that money makes people behave differently in these estate situations. Any heir is lawfully entitled to question and have answered anything that may or may not be happening, as pertains to the case.
