I AGREE WITH CINDI, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE A SMALL CHARGE FOR GETTING A PHOTOCOPY OF IT.

Anyone can request a copy of the will if it has been filed with the County since it it public record. Since the will was probated, it would have to be on file with the Probate Clerk's office in the county where the will was probated.
Good luck to you.
