In that case you get a lawyer and sue him.
And your question is? You need to immediately consult with a probate attorney in the county/state where your father's estate is pending. The fact that you got $5,000 tells me nothing. What assets did your father have? What portions were probate and non-probate assets. The will only governs probate assets. What about taxes owed by his estate? What about the debts or claims? Something may be amiss or not but any lawyer will have to actually review the will and related documents (inventory and accounting).
