You would have to petition the courts to release the money from the trust.

Sometimes the settlement money is invested in a structured settlement annuity. If that is what happened, then you could possibly sell the structured settlement. If you sold the structured settlement payments before you are 18, then you need your parent or guardian or a court appointed guardian to support you in court to persuade the judge to allow you to complete the sale and use the money to buy a house. Judges will base their decision on what they think is in your best interest, and a house purchase may be in your best interest.
