He has made some comments about how he would like to do some property development and stuff and I am just not interested. I also simply don't have the time to babysit this and keep track of what is going where, etc. I think I would rather have her choose a lawyer to be executor, but is this a good idea?

One joint executor can always renounce their appointment to the other.
If neither of you want to manage the estate, appoint a Trust Company (not a lawyer).
