Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Best way to ensure inheritance of house?
Dear Sirs and Madames,

My father was recently widowed and plans to remarry. Since him and my mother paid for our house, he promised me inheritance of the house and that neither his future wife or her children would have any claim to it.

He ordered a living trust kit to be signed by a notary public, that he is willing to sign to transmit ownership of the house to me upon my death.

Assuming he does remarry, would that be sufficient enough for me to inherit the house in case of his death?

I suggested a prenuptual agreement to him as reinforcement, but he stated that he is willing to try any other method aside from that.

What would be the best way to ensure I inherit the house and guarantee that neither my father's future wife, her children or any of my other family might try to stake claim to it?

Thank you very much for your assistance.
