If the trust remains revocable after the death of a co-trustee, then yes.

The general answer is no. However, it depends on the facts and circumstances of your situation. If you'd like a consultation and have a copy of the trust, contact my office.
ps. If dad's wife is not your mother, you should stay on top of this matter.

Generally not. The trustee is required to follow the terms of the trust document.
