Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Estate/executor issue questions - please help!

Hello. My father passed away 2 years ago and had a vacation home out of state that is paid for. I have 3 siblings and the oldest is executor. The executor is not speaking to myself or another one of my siblings and will not share any info regarding the estate or home. She has listed the house at a very high price in a bad bad market because she wants to keep the house to vacation in since it is paid for but no one else uses it. She keeps it listed to make it appear as if she is TRYING to sell it but no one is looking at it. She refuses to have the deed transferred to all 4 beneficiary names so she can keep control. Two questions. Do I have any options to get the deed transferred into my name since she really is NOt trying to sell it? Also, can she legally prevent me from using the house is I want to vacation in it for a week over the summer? I want to take my family, but I worry she will have me thrown out even though I am a beneficiary since she is executor. I need help. Thank you in advance.
