While you may be a beneficiary of your father's estate, this will take some time to settle.  First, your grandmother's estate must be settled.  Then your father's estate must be settled.  A beneficiary is only entitled to request an accounting 15 months after the executor has been appointed.  If no distributions have been made two years after the executor is appointed, a beneficiary can ask the court to remove the executor.
