Yes. However, there are tax consequences and legal consequences. You should consult with an attorney with a good reputation who specializes in estate planning who can review your situation, explain the consequences, set out your options and draft the necessary documents to accomplish the transfers.
It depends on the circumstances. There is no single correct answer to such questions

Legally, all three own an equal share in the home. The fact that one lives in the home is legally irrelevant. Before she died, one of the children was living in the mother's home, owned by one person. Now, one of the children is living in a home owned by 3 people. Property owned by multiple people or entities can make things challenging. As equal owners, all three children must unanimously decide to sell the home. In most states and situations, it is insufficient for one or two owners to decide to sell---all three must do that. It is ideal to get the property into one person's name only. This would mean two of the children would have to give up the rights to property (and probably they would want some compensation...to be "bought out"). To the original question, "possession is 9/10 of the law" isn't actually true. Just because one of the children is living in the house does not give that person a greater right to the property than the other two.
If the property is owned by a valid trust it is not part of the decedent's estate. The purpose of the trust was to protect and preserve the property for the children. The second wife has no rights in the property.
The parent holds the rights to the property in trust for the child. They can sell the property and place the money into trust. When the child comes of age, or there is need to use the money, it can be put into use for the child's welfare.

Yes, but the father can file a challenge. Why not give him the children?

Any residential property that I've acquired for the purposes of making a profit, not for the purposes of residence/living in such as a dwelling.
No. That is contra bonos mores and against public policy, to give deceased estate to strangers like girlfriend while testator is legally married and has children with his legal wife. His guilty of engaging in extramural affairs. Being married in community of property deceased cannot disinherit his wife and children.
