You can bring a lawsuit in the probate court asking the court to remove the executrix and appoint another person to handle the estate, usually the alternate executor named in the will. Each state has its own laws setting the basis for a removal. Generally these have to do with the executrix not doing what she is supposed to do, harming the estate in some or failing to obey the terms of the will or a court order. It is not easy to remove an executrix because most courts start with the premise that the acting executrix is the person the decedent has the most faith in. The court strives to uphold the wishes of a decedent. A court will not remove an executrix just because of disagreements or even animosity between her and beneficiaries. There must be some type of wrongdoing or breach of trust involved.

Does the Executor of the estate sign the decedents name and then sign as the executor of the estate?

No. The executor must be appointed by the probate court and signs their own name as the executor of the estate. For example: " John Smith, executor of the estate of John Doe." Be sure to add that designation, especially when signing contracts on behalf of the estate, so you do not unintentionally obligate yourself personally in any transaction you carry on for the estate.
