Yes, a house owned in trust may be opened by court order but only if it appears there is some rational reason that involves preserving the house from damage or destruction or that it be devoted to the uses and purposes of the trust itself.

It is settled law that the property in a trust or an estate is within the jurisdiction of the court and subject to its power. Circumstances may arise that indicate that entry into the house to prevent damage, such as a leaking water pipe, is necessary to ensure that it will not be damaged. There may be circumstances where a person is preventing entry to a beneficiary of a trust who is entitled to live there. In either case the court has authority to order the house be opened.

In addition, if in a criminal matter, a valid search warrant is issued to search the premises, the court may order the house be opened to execute the warrant.
