The executors cannot do as they please. If there is a will, then they are obligated to follow the will and the applicable probate law. In some cases where a will challenge is bourght by someone, the executor does have authority to settle the matter and come up with an agreement. But this only applies where there is threatened litigation by an heir or potential heir.
