Can a person decline executorship by filing out a form, having it notarized and sending it to the circuit court by certified mail?

Easier to give the documents, and his form declining to serve, to the person who will be personal representative. Then you just file the form he signed with your petition, explaining why the person nominated in the Will is not going to serve. Also, seriously $25,000 home? You don't need to do a probate at all, a Small Estate Affidavit should suffice.

If a couple died without a Will, what happens to their properties?

Potentially two probates are needed; if all seven children are children of the same two parents, and there are no step-children or children of other relationships, then for the first of your parents to die, all passes to the survivor. Then, when the survivor passes, all passes equally to the seven kids.
