I am not admitted in Virginia.
Generally, every state has a procedure for initiating probate when a named executor dilly dallies in doing so. Some states require a "petition" to be brought, some a "motion" but they are generally the same proceeding with subtle nuances.
You should consult with an attorney in your area for help here. And you should do so as soon as possible. Good luck.
