The question is: Who owns the house? Who owes on the house is a secondary question. Who holds the Statutory Warranty Deed - NOT the Deed of Trust. If the parents own the house - hold the SWD in their name only they can certainly get the children out. If they own it together with the daughter and the son, they are all likely tenants in common and they all have a right to use the house - and any effort to get anyone to give up their interest in the property will probably require legal action.
