executor not cooperating, executing will, dishonest practices

Father passed away Oct2006, Oct2007 estate still not settled, no probate, no will disclosed, tried to get me to sign off on joint acct. unknowingly, lied about lawyer handling-none were until I saw a lawyer and he made contact, Oct 2007 told will have a check in a week with explanations, Dec2007, forwarded document to sign off funds to him only from Bank Acct--found out later from lawyer it must be joint and due to recent law changes bank unwilling to release to him without beneficiary signature, Jan,2008 lawyer requested accounting of time frame of acting power of attorney which executor was from 2002 onward, to date, and all assetts owned, and provide copy of will, same then took over as executor. to date no response, other that it is in the works.

Ready to make application to have executor removed, also has been suggested to make application to force him to provide documents. Which would be less costly, which would be more advised OR EFFECTIVE? PROS AND CONS TO BOTH???


ANY IDEA AS TO THE LIKELYHOOD OF SUCCEEDING WITH EITHER?

LAW PERTAINS TO ALBERTA, CANADA

If you force production of documents and there issues or legal violations, the executor could be held liable for costs etc

What else can be done? who do you see? what tdo you right in a caveat? In my case she is making me pay to get rid of that the estate show have paid for and making me take more that one 1/4 of the jewley that was my familys and not giving me all my great grandpartent jewley and the rest is being split with step sisters. the money my mom inherieted was my familys not the steps sisters. however the excutor isn't following the will. and it isn't turning out right for the only daugher. they just want more money. she won't even try and fix this.
