It depends on who you mean by "us". If your mother refuses to give you property that is legally yours, contact the police. If it is jointly owned with your mother, you may need to file a lawsuit to have the property divided.

Does your husband have rights to your inheritance from your mom?
This depends on many factors. First and foremost are you in a community property state? Did the inheritance pass through a will or a trust? I would suggest you talk to an estate attorney. However, in most cases once you receive the inheritance into your estate as a married couple it becomes the property of both spouses. Therefore, they may have a right to half of the inheritance. Also if you have been married for a set period of time as designated by your state then they too may have a right to half of the inheritance. Once the inheritance was removed from your mother's estate in no longer was your mother's property, but was added to your estate. Being married give your spouse the right to marital assets of which this became when your mother's estate was settled and you received your inheritance.
Does the Residuary estate go to all siblings on the will or can it go on a verbal agreement with the mother and all siblings present that divides the property equally?
The residuary estate is usually addressed in the residuary clause in the will. If the residuary estate is not addressed in the will then the residuary passes to the next-of-kin as intestate property according to the laws of intestacy. Distribution of an estate is governed by statute and not by any verbal agreements. A beneficiary can waive their rights to distribution but it must be done in writing and filed with the estate.
