Can an executor, who is also a beneficiary, challenge a will just before settlement? Or have they left it too late?

I just founf this
"To renounce their position as executor, the individual hoping to contest the will needs to sign a formal renunciation agreement and file this form with the Supreme Court of NSW. This needs to be done as soon as possible, as the application may not be valid if some executor duties have already been carried out."

Does anyone know if there are ways around this?
