If the pages are numbered and you definitely have missing pages, you need to go back to the source. Before you do, I assume the will was probated, in which case you can go to the court house and from the clerk's office see what you can do to obtain a copy presented to the court. The official stamped copy filed with the court should have all the pages. If that appears to be missing pages, then go back to the attorney or executor and demand the remaining copies and then talk to the court about amending the probate filing.
