On this one get an real estate attorney, the trust will have to sell you part ownership of the house basically ( for one dollar and other consideration as the terms in your state go I beleive) then a new deed will have to be made ( not just adding you to an old one)
Now this may also alter the trust, so the attorney will have to review the trust to be sure it does not have to be redone ( or if it can even stay in a trust)
