Administering estate after executor renounced

Options
My late mother's executor has renounced the role, so my sibling and I are now administering the estate. It looks as though probate won't be needed, and at this point we're not involving a solicitor. What do we do with the renunciation form? I believe that it's supposed to be registered somehow, but my googling has been inconclusive.

    This happened with my aunts will, her executor renounced the role and my cousin had to send the Deed of renunciation to the probate office, even though probate was not needed it still had to be lodged there,. They then appointed the new executor.

    If you don’t need probate then you don’t need to do anything with it apart from keep it with the other paperwork associated with winding up her estate.
