Depending upon the laws of the state you live in, you should be the beneficiary of the insurance policy if your name is still on the policy. If the insurance policy doesn't name a beneficiary, the money will be added to your father's estate and divided according to his will.

What legally can be done if one of the trustees takes up residence without permission?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The trustee should be charging rent for the use of that asset, and keeping the asset insured against casualty loss; otherwise if there is no agreement as to the use and value of the asset, then a petition top partition to sell the asset will need to be filed obtaining cash for distribution to the beneficiary of the trust. If the sibling living in the residence refuses to pay rent, then trustee will need to take action to evict the person.

Unfortunately, yes as to both questions, as you essentially made a gift to him of one half the house. The court is going to look at the facts as they existed at the time between the two of you, not now.
