He would be the Legal Heir though she is the Step Mother.

"She has no child from her womb,only one stepson from her husband's first marriage."

It is believed that you are confining to this marriage and it was her 1st marriage and not remarriage for her and she did not have a child from a previous marriage.

Yes, step son inherit stepmothers property when stepfather is also not alive

Adv Shailendra Deshpande (Expert) 27 May 2017
How it is possible to receive step mother's property by step son? He is not her legal heir / successor as sec. 15 of Hindu Succession Act 1956.

If property is devolved to her from her parents, then it how step son can inherit?

Mr. Patil, Can you please elaborate & share precedent for clarity.

Mr. Chiradeep,

You have not stated, when and under what circumstances your stepmother inherited the property of which of her ancester from her parent's side?

However, based on the most insufficient information, I can only say, hard luck for you!
