More details to this question:
The executor has since filed all the paperwork with the NY surrogates court, and refuses to supply any information regarding the account or communicate any further. Unless I travel to NY I have no way of getting the account information. Is a retirement account actually subject to probate? What rights do I have in this situation?

You should consult with a NY probate attorney in the area where your aunt lived when she died. You should be able to get copies of everything that is in the estate file. Also, the attorney can likely guide you through the probate process, and ensure that your interests are protected.
