I am so sorry for your loss and for the situation that has occurred. It does seem dd that you have not received your inheritance while the other beneficiaries have.  But you have every right to inquire from the Executor.  Is he intentionally not releasing the funds?  Has he said why?  If the matter continues you can ask the Probate Court to help.  Either ask for a conference or an accounting, which he is supposed to do.  The Court personel are generally very helpful although they can not give legal advice.  Good luck.
