There is usually a procedure to 'renounce' executorship, but renunciation must be done before the named executor takes even one step. Otherwise the executor would have to apply to court to be relieved of the executorship.
Either renounce or administer the estate or pay a professional to deal with the matter and the fees would be met from the estate. It is up to the executor to decide. If the exector decides to administer the estate, he or she can be paid a fee (amount varies by state and county). The executor is not a beneficiary and the beneficiary is not the executor. The beneficiaries really have no say as to what the executor should do (i.e., adminster estate, hire attorney to represent estate, or renounce). The executor has a sworn duty to administer the estate in accordance with the deceased's will and the laws of the state and county of probate.
If heirs do not participate in a succession, the executor or administrator of the estate can proceed with the distribution of assets following the laws of intestacy or the terms of the will. It may be advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the distribution is handled properly and to protect the executor from any future challenges by the non-participating heirs.

As a matter of law, once you commence acting as executor, or intermeddle in an estate as it's also called, you are responsible for the administration of the estate. As such, if you wish to resign as executor after taking control of the testator's property, you must formally renounce your position in writing. In order to do this, you will need to submit a letter of renunciation in writing to the probate court. The precise form of this letter can vary from state to state. As such, you should check with your local probate office to see what precise form is required.
Yes. No person can be forced to accept property given to him/her by someone else's will. Likewise, no person can be forced to serve as an executor. A named executor is said to have a duty to offer the will for probate or lodge it with the probate court without offering it for probate, but that is as far as it goes. As to the property, many states have laws whereby a beneficiary may "disclaim" his gift. There is also a common law right to renounce it. Unfortunately in this case, if the person is the sole beneficiary and there are no alternate beneficiaries either in the will or in law, the estate may escheat to the state. If you wish to refuse the estate you may also do it by assigning it to another person. Maybe we can talk.
