How can I make my father execute my mother’s Will and fulfill her final wishes?

Mom knew she was dying when she wrote her will and did so because she did not want Dad to deny her children of the things she wanted us to have. All the real estate is left to him but some jewelry, household furnishing, items and car were to be left to us. Dad refuses to give up anything now and does not allow us at the house.
