If the will is probated in court you can ask for a copy.

Re: last will
If and when the will is deposited with the clerk of the circuit court in Pasco County (http://www.pascoclerk.com), it becomes public record. Anyone may then go to the clerk's office and look at it, or for $1 per page, they will make a copy for anyone. If it is never filed with the court, you would probably have to sue to require the holder to deposit it with the court.
