More details to this question:
My brother excluded me as family at my father's funeral. I was told there are no funds in his trust...an attorney said there was no need for probate. In the state of Florida, does my brother have to provide a copy of my father's will to me, regardless of whether I am included as a beneficiary? I do not trust my brother's honesty. What are my rights to see the will and do I need an attorney to obtain the copy?

You can always go to the local office where the will was admitted to probate and obtain a copy. Once your brother became the executor the will became a public document.
