You cannot simply transfer another person to the position as organizer. You have to disband the current family and set up a new Family group with the "parent" as the organizer. Refer to the links below for the various steps in the process.

Also note what to do if there are minor children in the group:
From: Hi, how do I make me to family organizer,… - Apple Community
"If there are children under 13 years old, the new organizer needs to leave the existing family, set up the new family, and then the under 13 years old children can be transferred to the new family. Then disband the old family and join the new family."
Move a child to another group using Family Sharing ---> Move a child to another group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
