If your husband was entitled to 1/3 of the Trust assets, then he should get 1/3, not some lower figure. From that sum your own attorney fees would be subtracted. There would be no reason for your paying their attorney's fees. The attorney for the Trust would be entitled to charge the Trust for his/her fees, but if the Trustee clearly disobeyed the terms of the Trust the Trustee should have to pay but that might be difficult to enforce.
I do not know what you mean by "advanced mortgage." Since you have an attorney who knows the facts of the case, you need to question him/her in detail.
