No. If the will is allowed as a valid will in your state then all the provisions will be carried out. If you have an issue of undue influence regarding that particular beneficiary you must bring your concern before the court and then abide by the court's decision.
A court will need to lift the "freeze" order before funds can be removed from the attached account. If the account belonged to the deceased the probate court has jurisdiction, in which case funeral expenses will be paid from the estate of the deceased. If the account does not belong to the deceased it is unlikely that a request for release will be granted unless the requester can provide documentation that there is no other means to obtain burial funds.
Assuming the testator of the will is deceased, the person's having need to know may file a request with the probate court for a copy of the Will. If the testator is not deceased, only they can make the contents of the will known, the executor would be acting on the behalf of the testator in matters of confidentiality and could not reveal the terms.
If your father is not yet deceased - unless he chooses to disclose this information to you there is no way you can find out what it contains. It is not a 'public' document and does not need to be filed in order to 'validate' it...., at least not while he is still living. If your father is deceased, the will should have been presented to the court for probate. Once in court it becomes a public record and you can then view a copy of it.
If your mother allows you to see it. If not, then you will have to wait until it goes to court.

To access the contents of the Will, you would typically need to request a copy from the executor of the estate or the probate court overseeing the administration of the estate.
Check with your Social Service Agency or the Court handling this case before you do ANYTHING. If the child is removed from the state where the court has jurisdiction, you could be open to a charge of KIDNAPPING.
It is the deceased husband's name that needs to be removed from the deed. Contact the local court house to find out what you must do to claim the property in your name alone. Usually you can file a copy of the death certificate.
