If mother's will gave her real property to her son and gave her nephew the right to live in the property then her nephew has a life estate. Her son must follow the provisions in the will. You should consult with the attorney who handled the estate to determine what your rights and obligations are.
No. A life estate is "total" ownership for the term of life, and the life tenant/owner has every right to prevent trespass. If you are concerned about the upkeep (or "waste") of your contingent property, you might seek local counsel to explore a pre-emptive injunction of some sort.

The life estate is typically attached to the real property (the land/house) only. The goods in the house are distributed according to the will and normally, the expectation is that the person receiving the life estate has the goods in the house already.

Mom inherits everything in the house from her husband and can do what she wishes with it, including sell it, unless the will specifies otherwise.

I assume that you are the sole owner of the house. You would need to check your state laws of intestacy to determine what your husband's rights would be if you died intestate, or, without a will. On the other hand, you could provide your husband with a life estate in your will.
