Simply decline the appointment. The court will appoint someone else. It may be a third party, which will reduce the estates value.

The short answer is yes as long it is a single family home and the executor is the trustee.

Once appointed the executor has the authority and responsibility of settling the estate without any interference by the beneficiaries.

Generally, an executor can appoint an "agent" who can act on their behalf. This is done when the executor lives some distance from where the estate is being probated or in another state. You should ask the attorney who is handling the estate. If the executor simply wants to appoint someone else to take over their duties that would not be approved by the court. In that case, the executor should decline and let the court appoint another person as executor.Generally, an executor can appoint an "agent" who can act on their behalf.

After an estate is closed how long does it take to get your money?
The length of time for probate vary by county and state to state. But, mostly it depends on the executor as to how efficient they are in doing their duties after the probate process is complete. Find out who the executor (or admnistrator) is and ask them how long it will be before they start distributing the estate. ( You can find out who the executor is by viewing the will at your local Probate Court.)
