Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania
Probating an estate in Pennsylvania, I refuse to sign off on the informal accounting I am a beneficiary and my sister is the executor...lot of items missing and I advised her attorney I wanted to mediate the accounting...no response...what happens now? do I need to file something at the court house, or will the executor need to make the next move?

Yes! You must file written objections with the court. You will have to review the local rules for the county where the estate is pending. It could be as short as 10 days. I suggest that you hire your own probate litigation lawyer for this. Once the objections are filed, there is no mediation unless your sister agrees. If you cannot work things out, then the court will have to hear and rule upon the objections. The court may take testimony or refer this matter out for a jury trial.
