After an executor has signed a deed of renunciation, whose responsibility is it to find an alternative executor?

Sorry, don't have the answer but it will be interesting to know.0

The answer is no one, although it would be in the interest of the major benificiaries to take it on or appoint someone to do so.0

So what happens if nobody wants the job?0

In cases where the estate is obviously insolvent the general advice is not to administer it, so executors should renounce. It would then be up to creditors to decide if there was any point becoming administrators in order to get a few pence in the pound of the money they are owed. If not the estate stays unadministered.
If there's no money the state pay for the funeral and nobody winds up the estate.
If an estate is solvent it's up to the beneficiaries to get the estate administered if they want their money/assets. If not the money stays in the bank and any property is left to rot. But no-one polices this and no third party will usually get involved unless directly affected (creditors etc).0 -

About £13k in cash, and contents of a 1 bed flat AFAIK.0 -
