A chapter 13 involves a plan you and your attorney have proposed to the creditors for them to object or not and the court to allow if no objections are filed. The C. 13 trustee does not "force" you to do anything, other than propose a fair plan according to your income and expenses
Unless the house was owned free and clear by the debtor, the trustee does nothing. The mortgagee forecloses and auctions the house off. If there was no mortgage, the trustee will either sell the house or auction it off.
If you are in a chapter 7, you cannot sell any property without permission from the court and the knowledge of the trustee. Get a lawyer if you do not have one.
You start by speaking with your case trustee/adminstrator. He must be involved by the terms of your case and agreement.
Yes, but this is very rare. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee will generally not seek to sell real property if the mortgage and other liens exceed the value. The Trustee's job is to liquidate assets for the benefit of unsecured creditors. If a Chapter 7 trustee were to sell a house that is upside-down, only the secured lien holder would realize anything from the proceeds, the trustee and unsecured creditors would get nothing. It would be an exercise in futility However, some aggressive Chapter 7 trustees have been known to try to force a short sale and/or stall a foreclosure in order to negotiate some sort of payment for the estate.
That's a decision that is made by the BK trustee. The participants of a chapter 13 bankruptcy must get the permission of the trustee for all major financial transactions.
It depends on the terms outlined in your father's trust. If the trust grants the trustee the authority to sell the house without beneficiary consent under certain circumstances, then the trustee can proceed with the sale. However, if the trust requires beneficiary consent for the sale of the house, then the trustee would not have the authority to sell it without that consent.

Yes, but the court usually appoints one for you. In Chapter 7, the trustee's job is to gather your non-exempt assets (if any) and sell them to pay the creditors, or to verify (as in most cases) that there's no non-exempt assets.
First, a trustee is the trustee of a TRUST. The house may be trust property. The powers of a trustee are set forth in the trust document. If the house is owned by the trust and the trustee has the power to sell real estate then yes, a trustee can convey the house.
You will need to obtain the consent of the Chapter 7 trustee before selling any property of the bankruptcy estate.
The trustee will retain an attorney then proceed to list and sell your house. You will have no say in who buys it or at what price. You will receive notice once they have a buyer and offers will continue to be accepted up until a final date which you and all of your creditors will be noticed of.
The debtor cannot sell nor transfer any property without the permission of the bankruptcy trustee or until the BK has been discharged and closed.
