Re: House and property under trust
The general answer is that unless he has a lease or rental agreement he would not have a basis for staying if the legal owner told him to leave. The most he could do is force the legal owner to evict him (i.e. file for a writ of restitution). That said, there are details of the situation, that don't know about, and that may affect my opinion.
