My elderly parents drew up a new will, my dad signed it, however, my mother went into rehab for a broken hip about that time and she has not signed it

It is not clear to me whether your parents created one will which they both were supposed to sign or two separate wills - one of each of them.  If it's the first RUN to a local estate planning attorney and get it done right.  If its the second and it was not done by an attorney, again RUN to a local estate planning attorney and get it done right.   Second you may be the named executor in the will, but you have absolutely no power to do anything until such time as the will is probated and you are appointed as executor by a probate court.   Finally, most attorney's who are estate planners can arrange for tghe appropriate people to assemble in hospitals or nursing homes to facilitate the execution of wills appropriately under Texas law.  It requires more than just signing it.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

The probate court has information available about your duties. You should contact one of the representatives at the court that appointed you and ask them for an instruction sheet. If they don't have one available they should be able to direct you how to get the information you need.

Can I set up multiple living trusts and put different properties in each?

Absolutely. What is the purpose? Is it for limitation of liability, if so there is a better way. If it is for distributing a certain piece of property to a certain person, this can be accomplished this way or there is a better way to do this.
