You will need a NM attorney that handles trust litigation. The complaint/petition, whatever will need to be amended by adding a defendant and a cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty, etc. It will be alot of work and you will not be able to do this pro se as the successor trustee.

Have your Father contact a competent NM attorney to draft a new Will. If you interfere too much, then your Family will contest the Will later. It is his decision, not yours. But you can request a change with a good lawyer. Will must be drafted and executed properly.

Since you need permission to sublet the landlord is holding you up; you have two choices: pay the additional 25% (add it to the new sub-tenant's rent); or kiss the deal goodbye.
