a percentage of the estate - only asset is the property"Other beneficiaries happy to refuse their bequest "
What was their bequest ?
This is one for our legal friends. An executor can renounce the office of executor but once he / she agrees to act he / she cannot renounce it without the leave of the High Count. Your friend has started the work of executor but has not yet applied for the grant of probate. I don't know if this would be taken as agreeing to act. He / she should look at paras 16 and 17 of part III Executors and Administrators of the Succession Act 1965 http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1965/act/27/enacted/en/print.html and then seek an opinion if it is possible at this stage to renounce probate.Solicitor sent copy of will to the person named as executor and out of a sense of that is what the parent wanted an attempt was made to try to make some headway with the situation but as the months have gone on reality is dawning that it is next to near impossible to resolve so now don't know what to do.
