You may be able to obtain a copy at the courthouse in Pinellas County. If you are not local, you can call and ask to speak with a clerk in the probate section. The clerk will let you know if you can order a copy. Wills are kept in a locked file and some courts will not allow anyone to make a copy. If you cannot obtain a copy, you can file a petition with the court to request that a copy be made available to you.
