What do we do if we only have a copy of a will and not the original and we don't want to hire a lawyer to fight for the copy?

Without an originally signed and valid will, no one has the power to act for your grandmother's estate pursuant to the will. You need to locate the original will.
If you can not find the original, this presents additional problems and you may need to go through various procedures to begin the estate.
I am not sure about your reference to renunciation or "will that be enough." Enough for what?
Obviously, although you do not want to spend the money, you need to hire estate counsel when there are so many questions. It is now 3 years since the grandmother died and you have not probated a will or started an estate administration. With all due respect, this situation will not get better by trying to figure this out by yourself.

Hope this helps.
