What to do if in my late father’s Will he left everything to his wife but with a stipulation that his estate would pay for any further education for my children or me?

What to do if in my late father’s Will he left everything to his wife but with a stipulation that his estate would pay for any further education for my children or me?

He passed way 6 years ago. I have recently gone back for my masters and wonder how I can get reimbursed from the will. I do not have a good relation with his wife, and wonder how do I go about this?
