If this case is docketed as a probate court case, you complain before the court (best with the help of a lawyer). If the case is not in probate, you can attempt to open a new probate case and ask for your own executor/administrator to be appointed. Or, you attempt to negotiate with the executor, first by asking for an accounting and information, and then asking for an explanation of the payouts. All the foregoing assume the complaining party is a party with a legal interest in the outcome.
