A certified copy of a document such as a will is a more official form of a conformed copy. In legal practice, if a will (or contract for that matter) is signed, a conformed copy may be made by simply making sure that all aspects of the original are in the copy even though not done in an original manner. For example, a lawyer can make a conformed copy of a will by simply typing the testator's name where the testator signed it in order to show that it was signed. A certified copy is a conformed copy that is certified by some authority that it is a true copy of the original document. When a will is probated, a certified copy is commonly given to the executor. This certified copy consists of a true copy of the original together with the official certification by the court that probated the will that this is indeed a true copy of the will that was probated.

You need an attorney, not a website. An executor does not have the legal right to "refuse to have the will probated." Until the will is probated, it's just a piece of paper (and part of what makes an executor an executor instead of just a busybody is being granted probate by a court). From what you are saying, the "executor" in this case is playing fast and loose with the law, and you'll probably want to get an attorney involved sooner rather than later.
The heir of a will can typically obtain a copy of the will by requesting it from the executor of the estate or the attorney who handled the will. If the will has been filed with the probate court, the heir can also request a copy from the court where the will is being probated. Alternatively, the heir can hire an attorney to help obtain a copy of the will.
