Re: probate estate
it should not be that expensive (depending on the county) to file a motion and order concerning the new executor. I am not aware of any "forms" for this.

Re: probate estate
Have the first executor's written withdrawal filed with the Court. Since you are named as second in the will, all you need to do is execute the executor's oath before the probate clerk.
