You will need to sign a Deed of Renunciation document. Note that this can only be done if you have not intermeddled in the estate affairs. If there are no other executors you should then hand the document to the main beneficiary who will then need be able to deal with and apply for probate.

Generally once they have been appointed by the court an executor can file a resignation with that court if they cannot continue as executor. They must file a final account of their activity and the court will appoint a successor.

Can an executor resign?

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.
