Happens all the time. No big deal. The executor, whomever it is, fulfills the duties are required by law. And if no one 'wants' to be the executor, the court will appoint someone to do it, usually an attorney or a bank.
After the will has been allowed and the executor has been appointed by the court the executor is obligated by law to carry out the distribution as set forth in the will by the testator. The executor has no authority to change any provisions that were made by the testator unless that power was also granted in the will. There is no "procedure for negotiating" with beneficiaries who want a "more fair deal" than was provided by the testator. The executor needs to seek some advice from the attorney who is handling the estate. The executor needs a primer on their legal obligations and personal liability if they overstep their authority and decide to operate outside the probate laws.
If there is a will then the person to be executor is appointed by the will. If there is no will or the executor is dead then you need to go and see a solicitor about how to proceed. If the estate is very small there may be government advice on how to proceed (solicitors will charge) - there are usually rules about how to deal with estates below a certain value.

No. The executor should secure the property and must file a petition in the Probate court to be appointed the executor. They must present the Will so it can be examined and approved by the court. They have no legal authority until the Will has been allowed and they have been duly appointed by the court.
