Just by living there, no, no effect on distribution or the ability to sell, assuming they don't have to be physically ejected after the sale.

The fact that they occupy the residence has no bearing on the ownership of the home. He would have to change his will. Now, if during his life time, he deeds the property to them, then that would negate anything he might have in his will.
