Have your stepmother removed as personal representative of your father's estate ("personal representative" is what executors are called in Maryland) and ask that you named personal representative. If it's too late, there may be nothing you can do as a practical patter, but it might not be too late to prevent her from ignoring the rest of the will's provisions.
