GrandmaMoira, if the property was in trust it should make provision for easy downsizing. The property is owned half by the survivor and half by the trustees. If you wanted to downsize both parties would sell and then buy a new property again owning half each. Assuming this released capital, half would be yours to do with as you will, half would be in the trust to invest or pay out to the stepchildren.
