A: The trust document would control what happens to the property - easy answer here is to ask the successor trustee to speak with the attorney that drafted the trust.

A: Normally a revocable trust becomes irrevocable when the settlor dies. You really need to consult with a Florida trust attorney to have the trust reviewed.
