You need a lawyer specializing in probate work. Without opening your husband's estate, you probably do not have standing to object to anything. It sounds like a Petition for Settlement of Accounts is what you need.

In almost no county can you do it yourself, even assuming that you know how to file the motion or application for a Rule Nisi correctly.
