Writing will when there is life threat from one legal heir

When there is a life threat by one class of the legal heir mentioned in Hindu Succession act.

Is it possible to prevent the devolution of property to the class of legal heir mentioned in Hindu Succesion act.

 

Section 15 and Section 16 of Indian Succesion act which describes rules for the succesion in case of female dying intestate.

Suppose the female whose husband has already expired and the umarried son of the female dies.

The heirs of the husband are left out. All the heirs of the husband are against the female and giving life threat to her.

 

In such case is it possible to prevent the devolution of property on the heirs of the husband by the way of the will by the female.

Can the female write the will on the property purchased by the funds of her father on the heirs of her father excluding the heirs of the husband( the only mother of her husband)?

The property that the female inherited from her father is her absolute property and no relative of her husband have any right over it. She can execute a registered WILL in favour of any person who she wishes to give the property after her death.

Husband's mother ( Mother- in law ) has no right to the daughter -in law's property  when her daughter in law has executed a proper WILL.

I would prefer she gives a police complaint if she feels her life is being threatened by her husband's relatives.
