What Does the Executor Do?

If the deceased has a will, it usually names a close relative, friend, accountant, attorney or financial institution to act as executor of the will.

When Can an Executor Start Paying the Heirs of an Estate?

I have settled my mother’s estate and sent the final accounting paperwork to my three siblings. Two have signed off on the bond paperwork but my one brother is nitpicking the statements, asking for invoices for the lawyer, the CPA, etc. Can I send the other two their share of the inheritance or do I need to wait until everyone signs off?
