Once your father died, and his will is probated, then those provisions "stick." If the will stated the money goes into a trust, with her as trustee, then she has to follow the provisions of the trust. Now, she can change HER will (not his) and if she controls the trust, she can make decisions about the trust property (pursuant to the trust's guidelines.)
