Claim of daughter-in-law on father-in-law's property

Sandip Samanta (Querist) 19 January 2015 This query is : Resolved
My question is:

In absence(death) of her husband, whether daughter-in-law can claim on her father-in-law's "self-acquired" property or not?

Daughter-in-law is a mother of a minor daughter.

Hello Sandip,

The daughter-in-law cannot claim her right over her father-in-law's self acquired property.However, if the father-in-law has prepared a will in favor of daughter-in-law,she can claim her right to the property only after the father-in-law's demise by executing the will.

Also, as the dauhter-in-law is a widow, she can conveniently inherit the property of her father-in-law in capacity of a widow of a predeceased son who is considered as class 1 legal heir if the father in law dies intestate(without making a will).
