Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Just received an eviction notice at the house i live in. The home is still in the trust from my deceased granparents that left it to 5 beneficiaries including my mothrr and aunt. My aunt, the trustee, put the house up for sale though she just got an equity loan on it and used the money for personal debts. But we had a verbal agreement between me, the trustee, and my mother a beneficiary who bought out anithers half. The agreement was that as long as I pay the taxes annually on home I can reside here until both the trustee and my mom are deceased. Now im getting evicted only by trustee. Can thislegally happen?
