As any agreement or contract, a court may have to resolve any dispute between parties.
You may be best served by reviewing the specifics of your complaints with an attorney
experienced in trusts and probate. Family disputes are common, unfortunately, but the
purpose of a trust is to carry out the expressed wishes of the grantor, your dad.
