Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Remove Trustee from a Trust

We need to remove the Trustee from our Trust. She has not fulfilled her obligations. What kind of paperwork do we need? Can the owner of the property and trust sign the quitclaim deed to change it out of the trust? The Trustee is refusing to sign the quitlcaim deed.
