Florida Land Trust-Trustee removal

A few years ago I put several rental houses into Florida Lands Trusts to facilitate getting Hospice care for my ailing wife. This was done by recording a Quit Claim Deed To Trustee.

Now I am having problems with my trustee who is refusing to do trustee duties but won't sign resignation papers. She claims to have never agreed to be the trustee. At the time of recording the deed my wife said the trustee agreed. It is the trustee's word against my, now deceased, wife's. Whether not not the trustee agreed is moot since the deed is in her name as trustee.

The deed names a successor trustee.

How can I remove the trustee without her signiture?
