The Will or, if there is no Will, the question of heirship, must be admitted to probate by a court. Once the court has appointed an executor or, if there is no Will, an administrator, it is that person's duty to gather the assets, pay the debts and distribute the rest to the beneficiaries under the Will or to the heirs. If this is not done within a certain period, that person can be replaced. In this instance, you may sue for partition, forcing a sale and getting your share of the net proceeds. Consult a local probate attorney.
