More details to this question:
My brother is the executor of my moms will, only because no one else knew what to do. Upon signing the trust, which my brother had written out, my mother was in the hospital heavily sedated on morphine, she died a few days later. This was almost 2 years ago, and we have seen nothing, everything is to be divided 3 ways. The house is sold, the money is in an account, and he won't release any funds. What can we do?

This is a contested matter. You & the other heirs would need to hire an attorney to represent your interests. That attorney would do an investigation as to wrong-doing and take the steps to divide the assets appropriately. When you speak to attorneys in your area, make sure to tell them that this is a contested will or trust.
