If you are a beneficiary of a will and the executor has not treated you fairly or is mismanaging the estate, you may need to pursue your legal rights. Similarly, if you are the beneficiary of a trust, the trustee must fairly manage the trust for the best interests of the beneficiaries. Executors and trustees are fiduciaries -- people held to very high legal standards.
