I'm assuming here that a probate court in Oregon appointed the executor of your father's estate. You can file a petition in that same court to have the executor removed. You will have to include details of his wrongdoing in your petition and prove it in court if there is a hearing. He may decide to resign instead. As an alternative, you could file a petition with the court asking the court to supervise his actions or compel him to take a certain action if your father's Will requires it and he has not done so.
You also mention a trust. Trusts are administered by trustees. If this person is the trustee of a trust, he can be removed as well. First, look at the language in the trust document itself to see if there is a provision about removing a trustee. If so, take those steps. If not, you would have to petition the court to remove the trustee. The procedure is similiar to removing a personal representative - allege wrongdoing, and have proof for a hearing.
Beneficiaries of the estate or trust also may be able to hold the executor or trustee personally responsible for wrongdoing that led to a loss of an inheritance or distribution. Wrongdoing may be hard to prove, especially if you do not have access to bank records and such. A lawyer can help with this.
