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.
An executor (not executive) is the person who has the authority to administer the decedent's estate. He/She is appointed by a court with probate jurisdiction. He/She is usually appointed in the decedent's Will.

i think it depends on how long the will is...
As long as your question is referring to the executor of a will, than the answer to your question is yes.
Yes. You can sue as long as you have a valid complaint against the executor.
There is no reason you cannot become executor of an estate as long as the court agrees. As long as you are 18 or older, you can serve in that capacity.
Issuance of Letters Testamentary is a legal document issued by the court that authorizes the executor or personal representative to administer the estate of a deceased person according to their will.
