My deceased husband was a sole beneficiary to a Irrevocable Trust. We did not have any substancial property together. My question is, do I have any claim to a trust of a deceased beneficiary?

Re: Beneficiary
I will add to the answer already posted. Yes, your rights will depend upon the terms of the trust itself. I would need to examine it, together with any amendments. Your rights will also depend upon your husbnad's will or estate plan. If you want a free, no obligation consultation to evaluate these documents call 480.835.1500. Best regards.

The answer depends upon the provisions of the trust and whether the benefits to your husband are then to be paid to his surviving spouse.
