Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Unfortunately, your's is a not untypical situation of the good sibling being taken advantage of by the others. Before your father dies, tell him what his two daughters are planning. You do not know that they have not already gotten him to change the trust to something more favorable to them. Youtr father will not like hearing the truth about his daughters but he already knows how they have acted their entire life so this additional news will not surprise him. You have to protect your own interests. In my own family the same type of thing occurred and not only were the ones who took advantage not sorry, they tried to punish the innocent family member even more. Your father should disinherit them. I realize you probably will not attempt to obtain that result, but I know from my family experience your are foolish if you do not. By th eway, take a detailed inventory with pictures of what is in the house as they will illegally take away whatever they want.

I assume that the trust leaves the house equally to all three of you. That means that all three can use the house as they want as long as it does not damage te house. The two of them, even though together they own more than you do can not force you out. They can sue for partition of the property [court forced sale] but you have as much right to stay in the house as they do. You do not have to pay them any rent as the house is legally yours also. If they tried to start eviction proceedings you could demurr to the complaint and win.

The trust attorney is supposed to remain neutral among the three of you so while he can tell all of you what the law is, he can not take sides. Once you tell your sisters what the law is, you may not need an attorney. You can probably hold off for now. They can enter the house whenever they want but probably not go into your private rooms.

God luck, and be firm.
