You should consult with an attorney in your area who can review the trust and the deeds for validity. The trust must be reviewed to make certain it is a valid trust in your state, that the property was properly transferred to the trust, that the trust provides the trustee with the power to convey real estate and that your sister is the trustee. The deed from your sister as trustee must be reviewed for validity.
If the property was "in trust" and your sister had the power as trustee to transfer the property to you both as individuals then it's no longer protected by the trust. It is your individual property and vulnerable to your creditors.
