It depends on the laws in your particular state, but in most cases, if you are still legally married then you have a right to part of this estate as well. If and when you decide to divorce after a length of time has passed during your separation, you should be able to use that estate inheritance as part of his total worth when determining your alimony and/or child support.
Check with an attorney in your state. Depending on the state of your relationship, you may need to be on the alert for ways that your husband may attempt to get around any claim you have on his mother's estate. You will need to consult an attorney who is well-versed in the laws of your state as well as the proceedings of divorce court.
Good Luck!
