Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

It's probably the most common pattern, but it all depends on what the person who created the trust desired. Unfortunately, sometimes a person will just follow a form pattern without someone explaining exactly what is happening. Hopefully that did not happen here. A spouse might be provided for it, for example, the person creating the trust was very close to him/her, and wanted the spouse to receive something regardless of whether she remained married to the descendant.

The answer depends on facts which are not included in your summary. You have no rights in the absence of a Will or Trust providing for you, or joint assets or beneficiary designations. If all of his assets are titled in his name alone, you would only be entitled if there was a Will or Trust naming you as beneficiary.

The family is not responsible for this unless they agreed to be responsible for it. Your father's ESTATE, if he has one, would be responsible for creditor claims. His estate would consist of any assets that your father has in his name alone, without beneficiaries designated.
