Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Mississippi

Uncle's Will and Executor

Hello,

My Uncle passed away almost two years ago and we have gone through probate on his will and estate. The family finally received items that were listed on the will a couple of months ago. My Mom (Uncle's last living relative) had to keep contacting the Attorney in order to receive the items since the Executor would not return our calls (he does not have email or an answering machine on his phone). This year, the executor decided to sell off all of the art work that my Uncle had in the estate and told us that he would rather allow us the money now rather than wait years down the road. Not all items have sold. However, he is now threatening us that he will not disperse the funds that have accumulated to date the the heirs (account total in excess of $200,000). He was venomous and threathening to my Mom and I over the phone and said that we would have to wait forever now. To make matters worse, the estate is in Mississippi and we live in California. We feel that we are not being treated fairly by the Executor and would like to know our legal rights. This matter has been a very trying experience and we feel that we are now being held hostage by the executor. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
