The only way to get this, since its so old is to call the probate court where it was filed and get a copy. Most court's will fax or mail you one for a fee which you can pay via credit card. If they require another form of payment they will tell you where to send. it.
If you need specific help, email me and I'll try to help you. I am a paralegal and do this type of stuff daily.

You will need to know the county where the will is probated. Let's say, Houston County. Call Houston County Clerk, ask for probate records, and explain what you need. Generally, they will look it up while you wait. Any fee charged is just for copies, usually about $1 a page. If you need them certified (wherein the Clerk declares that they match exactly what was filed), expect a fee of about $5 a page.

You may need a court order from a Judge to get that document released. Try the site below as a point of reference. Hope this helps.
