A will names four people as executors - two of them wish to 'renounce' this role. The other two are happy for them to do so. There has been no 'intermeddling'.
Googling shows that the renunciation can be done by signing a document, but there is no standard form. Can anyone please recommend a link to a standard set of words, or recommend that I download a template from a website for a fee?

Re: 'Renunciation' as executor
You might be in luck with someone posting the full wording but I don't think Oyez forms are that expensive. The last one I paid for on another matter was in the region of £7.26.
Here is mention of their Deeds PRO30 and PRO31:

I don't know which one you need.

Re: 'Renunciation' as executor
If you are happy for them to just "step aside" and leave the power reserved, you just have to fill in the appropriate parts of PA1 when you apply for probate.

D – Renunciation: they have chosen not to apply, and give up all rights to apply.
Reason D – if you state that an executor has given up their right to apply, when we receive this application we will send another form to you to give to the executor, for them to sign.

Brilliant, as always. You are a Pro.
But when I renounced for my aunt's probate, I merely did it orally to my cousin, the other executor.
Now granted, that started a major shitstorm. His two younger brothers claimed a conspiracy, even though I was not a beneficiary.
But here is the funny thing. My oral renunciation was deemed sufficient. There was no follow up from anyone.
