I am receiving a small inheritance from the death of a close relative. The executor is a close family member as well. The estate consists of trusts (family and administrative), and bank accounts. It has been 18 months since my loved one passed away. I have received some distributions (brokerage accounts, bank accounts) but am getting so frustrated by lack of continuity from the executor. He just seems to be dragging his feet. The estate is being distributed in bits and pieces. He will say that he is arranging a distribution the next week, and then we hear nothing. When we send emails, he will say "sorry, I got sick, will respond soon". Then a few more weeks will go by and we will email him again. This time he will promise an update "soon". 
It is beyond frustrating.
We had a meeting in the fall to address these issues and he promised to send updates every two weeks to keep us apprised of any updates/actions, but sadly hasn't followed through.

We have wondered if he is overwhelmed and offers have been made to help with administrative details. He made a comment to me "X keeps offering to help. She must really need the money. She's already gotten X amount so I don't understand what the problem is." This is a deterrent for me to offer help to him! The fact that he will twist it around in such a way has caused everyone to back off.

I don't think he is being dishonest or stealing money, but just can't get his act together. And yes, he tends to be a very touchy individual in general.

It is beyond frustrating. Do you have any suggestions? Since it is family, we have to tread very lightly.[/quote]
