1. Two questions:

Was the title to the home in your mom’s name, or was it held by the trust? (And if the latter, I assume you and sibs are all trustees?) That is definitely an option that should have been explored and explained to your mom by the lawyer creating the trust.

Secondly, are you planning to keep the home or sell it? If you’re planning to sell, reassessment seems to be a temporary inconvenience. If you’re keeping it, then you need to see a lawyer to sort out how title will be shared between you and your sibs.
