More details to this question:
My grandmother passed away in 2010. My cousin was the executor under an unsupervised estate. I was the sole beneficiary. She did not become the executor until 2011 but is charging me for things she did prior to becoming the executor, not only that she used her husband’s construction business to do work on my grandmother’s property.

It depends on what the "things" are. Take the bill for the proposed payment to an attorney who can advise you on it. Unless the estate is insolvent, you can afford to do this.
