Still confused.. whose job is it to sell the property to release the inheritance?

Options
I'm trying to deal with the solicitor and the executor who are still not keeping me updated about my mother's estate.. once probate has gone through, is it the beneficiary's job to sell the house to pay the large remortgaging debt and free the residue, or is it the executors?
Also. I'm due to have a big surgery and I don't imagine I will be well enough to deal with the estate, do I need to get power of attorney for a friend to take over? I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Many thanks to all who contribute on MSE :)
