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?

The best way to resolve the matter is to submit notice to the former executor of the estate that you will be going back to school and will be seeking assistance for your education under the terms of the Will. If you do not get a positive response, then you will need to consult with a Wills and trust attorney about the matter for advice as to how you should proceed.
