Never. You can't use att with the infinitive with modal verbs, more about that here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/7075383
How come when you use tycker om you don't take the om off but here you take off the ha?
Vill ha is only used when you want things, but here she wants to become something.
It's best to think of "Vill" as "Want to".
"Hon vill bli advokat" -> "She wants to become a lawyer"
"Jag vill ha det" -> "I want (to have) it"
Oh my god, I seriously just figured out that in vill ha "ha" is the infinitive for "to have" I feel stupid now :/, thanks though!

I thought "want" was translated by "vill ha" and not "vill " alone. I have seen many examples with "vill ha" for translating want. Could you please give me an explanation ? It's sometimes difficult for me (French native speaker) to understand Swedish grammar ! Thank you for your response !
- vill is for verbs (so it's like "wants to")
- vill ha is for nouns (so it's like "wants to have")
