Probably. It partially is determined by the wording of the trust. Usually, assets are divided into two or more sub-trusts; one the decedent's trust and one the survivor's trust. You need to administer the trust according to its terms.

Even if part of the trust becomes irrevocable, you almost certainly have the power to sell assets - once you have properly changed title to yourself as sole trustee You should get a lawyer to review the document and help you with the change of title.

It depends. Is the house in the trust? It also depends on the terms of the trust.
