Personal Representative for Estate, Signing 1040 Form

I am a Personal Representative preparing a Joint final 1040 for a deceased taxpayer and their surviving spouse.  I have the following issues and questions with Windows 2021 TurboTax Premier:

1.) The text "Filing as Surviving Spouse" is being placed on the taxpayer signature line of the 1040 where I must sign as Personal Representative.  TurboTax won't allow me to delete that text from the form or from the worksheet that feeds it.  How do I delete that text so that I may sign the form on the proper line?

2.) The required text "DECEASED <taxpayer name> <date of death>" does NOT appear at the top of the 1040 form as required.  However, that text does appear at the top of the 1040/1040-SR Worksheet.  How do I get the required text to be printed at the top of the 1040 form that will be filed?
