You didn't give much by way of details. For example, how long as the estate been in probate, the reason given for the tardiness of distribution, etc. That having been said, you can go to the appriariate probate court (i.e. the one in which the deceadant was domiciled as of the date of their death) and file a complaint. You can also hire (or at least consult with) an probate attorney as to the matter.
