I am so sorry for your loss.  More information is needed here as to why the executors "will not act."  Is it because the estate has yet to close or be close to being finalized or is it because they have not done anything at all?  Procedualr aspects of forcing them to act are with in the knowledge of a local attorney but generally you can make a motion in the probate court for something that can force them to act if they are not doing anything.  That is a breach of their fiduciary duty.  I would suggest that you speak with an attorney.  Good luck.
