I am going to be vague for a reason so please bare with me.
A child, mother and father living in a house with the father. The father had rights to live in the house till death. The house is left to three siblings. In the will it states that when one of the siblings dies, the share of that property goes to the specially, the child or children of the deceased.

If they are under 18, it should be held in trust by the remaining siblings. It also, says it can be sold and invested when needed but the investment should be kept for the child for when they turn 18.

The child and mother now has no where to stay. By evicting the mother and child, the child would become homeless.

What legal standing are there for the mother and child continuing to reside in the house?

Not to forget, there was no will from the father.

Also, the people filling in the form have stated that the property can not be included in the probate as it goes straight to a trust from the time of death.

Help me understand this.
