Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

I have been living on some property for the past 3 years that my father owned and left to me and 3 other beneficiaries in his trust and will.

None of the other beneficiaries have any interest in the property I am living on and I have been given verbal and written permission to this property . We are in probate right now and the court is trying to force us to sell the property to pay my fathers debt. Is there any way to protect my home.
