She will get each beneficiary to sign off on allowing this to happen, lessening their inheritance cash-wise but keeping the family in a home.My idea is that the trustee daughter could purchase the home, but could do so instead through a sort of owner-financing where the Trust finances the asset to her directly rather than buying it in full at great cost and taking out a mortgage on an already paid for property:- Property is in Trust and is fully paid off,- Trust finances the property to Trustee for closer to market value, and payment can still be set at 1500- No/less down payment required- Any interest rate, maybe 0- Tenant family makes rent payment of 1500, which pays off the property and pays into Trust- Beneficiaries' % share accrues gradually as payments are made- Set future balloon payment if necessary (if Balance required at a certain time, for college, etc.)This would decrease the out-of-pocket cost for the Trustee purchaser, and increase the amount that each beneficiary will receive (eventually).I have no Trust experience, though, and I'm hoping to hear from the experts.

Trade off is a higher rate though, so your cash flow would decrease.
