Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

When my grandfather passed he left two wills made up about ten years apart. Neither were filed, but both notarized prior to his death. The executor listed on the will is not able to take responsibility due to personal issues but it willing to sign over responsibility. What actions need to be taken for this? The estate is in Florida and executor in Tennessee. Would I be able to have the executor write a notarized letter relinquishing rights to me?

File the most recent will with the Court and hire an attorney to probate the Estate.
