My husband has been named in a trust and given a 1/6 portion of the proceeds of his late brother's New York house. Does he have any rights concerning the sales price and any negotiations? Thank you.

Generally no, that is the Trustee's decision provided he uses it in good faith.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your brother-in-law.
A beneficiary typically would not have any say in the matter having anything to do with trust property.
Good luck.

These decisions are usually left to the appointed Executor. He/she may consult with beneficiaries, which include your husband cc, but is not required.to.
