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.

How can someone claim his right of inheritance?

This question deems the question of "right of inheritance." If an estate document gives an inheritance to someone then they are entitled to that inheritance by virtue of estate law. If this has not taken place an individual can contest the will by virtue of not receiving and inheritance that is mentioned in the estate documents. However is someone is omitted from an inheritance only the court can determine if an individual has a right to an inheritance. In order to determine this one must contest the will in the county where the deceased resided and await a hearing to determine if the contesting has any merit. Individuals have the right to leave an inheritance to anyone they choose and omit anyone they choose. Sometimes being omitted was done in error which by contesting may rectify the situation.
