It depends upon who owns the property. If both names are on the title then each is legally entitled to 50% of the net proceeds.

If the property is in the name of the "other spouse" alone then they have no legal obligation to share the proceeds. Of course, that might change if the couple was in the process of a divorce and the divorce had been filed.

Can a brother contest his sister for selling their parent's house and not sharing the profits with him?

That depends on lots of factors. If she is the executor of the estate , and the house is not explicitly addressed in a will, she can sell it and distribute the proceeds according to the will. You can always contest the actions of the executor. If she was left the house by terms of a will, you are not entitled to any of the proceeds. If you and she were left the house together, then you are entitled to a portion of the proceeds, and to a say in whether or not the house is sold in the first place.

Can husband collect life insurance if wife dies unexpectedly?

If the husband was the named beneficiary of the policy, if the policy was in force at the time of death, and if the cause of death was not excluded by the policy, the general answer is "Yes". If the beneficiary was the estate of the wife, the proceeds are paid to the estate. Then, if the husband was a beneficiary of the estate (either by virtue of a Will naming him as beneficiary, or if no Will, through the laws of intestate succession), he may be entitled to all or a part of the insurance proceeds. If the beneficiary of the life insurance policy was someone other than the husband as of the time of the wife's death, proceeds are payable to that person.
