When the beneficiaries, heirs, or any interested party feels that the named executor or administrator is not fulfilling his or her duties, he or she can file a petition with the court where the decedent's will was admitted into probate and ask the court to remove the executor or trustee.

If no executors are willing to act, beneficiaries or the court may appoint someone else to administer the estate. This can be complicated even if beneficiaries agree on who should act, and more so if they do not agree.
