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.
What should you do if the named executor who is also the main beneficiary is not acting in the best interest of the other heirs?
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.

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.

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.

Can a person refuse to be a joint executor of a will?
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.
If both executors of an estate renounce can any beneficiary be executor?
Generally, yes. Each state will have its own laws governing this issue and even though most states have the same system, one must look to the laws of the state of probate for the exact answer. The residuary beneficiaries have the right to administer the estate if the named executors decline. They all have an equal right to this, so usually they must all agree to either serve together (a surefire recipe for problems) or agree on one or some of them to serve. Unless there is an agreement, the dispute over who will serve will go into court to be resolved. The court will appoint an executor. The general idea is that the right to administer the estate goes to the persons who have an interest in the estate or to someone of their choosing.
