Chicago, IL asked in Probate for Texas

Q: Judge ordered family allowance but Attorney refuses to pay that amount. What can I do? I let my attorney go already.

My husband had no children and died with an old will. The millions will go to his college. They have been awful. The judge also ordered the car to me and the Executor and her Attorney refused in writing to do anything or fill out forms to transfer title. They are now stating that they are not paying the full amount ordered by the judge for my family allowance. Is this legal and what can I do to stop them?
