It will not affect their ability to be the executor. It may require them to be bonded.
An Executor signing a legal document for an Estate must include "Executor, Estate of...."

It is not normally a requirement. The court may require them to post a bond.
You can go to the judge or a lawyer and ask to be co executor or to require that the estate be settled. Wills and trusts can be broken, you just have to consult the right person.
You are not an executor until you have filed the will for probate and been appointed by the court. You may resign by filing a resignation with the court. The court will require that you file an account and will appoint a successor.
