You and he would file a petition with the court requesting that you be excused.
The Petition would have to go to the judge for consideration and execution of a new Order Appointing Personal Representative and new Letters Of Administration.
He would have to have an attorney admitted to the Florida Bar to represent him as PR.
It should be a simple matter and take a week or two, depending on how quickly the paperwork is prepared, signed, and submitted to the court (and also which county it is in, as some counties are notoriously slow).
