Re: executor is corrupt
Do Not sign any paperwork you do not agree to. You can request supervised administration.
It sounds like you need a complete accounting, as well as having a third party to administer the estate.
email me if you have any questions.

Re: executor is corrupt
Requesting that an estate be supervised is not the same thing as contesting the will, it is simply asking the court to oversee the actions of the executor when there is a contentious situation.
I would suggest that you consult with a probate attorney to review your rights. Although you can represent yourself before the court, it is easier to do so with the assistance of someone who knows the law.
Be sure that the attorney you speak with is experienced in probate!
Good luck to you. Let me know if I can assist in any way.
