    It depends what you mean by "nothing has been done".


    If the trustee knows about your house, then he can do a number of things which would stop the property coming back to you when three years are up.


    For example, he could 'renew the inhibition'. This is - described very loosely - a record in the Scottish Land Register, which makes it clear that the trustee still has rights over the property, and stops you selling it.


    You might want to speak to CAB about this one.
