This query is : Resolved
Respected Sir/Madam,
Three years ago my elder brother got married. His wife’s family is comparatively lower in status than us, hence due to good financial condition of our family my father demanded nothing during the marriage and expected that the girl being from a lower middle class family would be sincere, good in nature and will held the family together but gradually the opposite happened. The girl showed signs of hunger for money and craved for lavish style day by day. My father expired in 2011, not because of any incident relating to this case but he had a stroke.
After his demise the girl showed aggressiveness to my mother demanding distribution of the wealth as a soon as possible. My mother explained her to wait for some years and let her cope with the untimely loss of her husband but the girl showed no signs of repentance and became adamant.
At present the girl is still continuing his previous tactics and had also taken more than half of the wealth in the name of her and her husband (i.e. my elder brother). Initially I was shocked to see the mute nature of my elder brother during her wives aggressiveness towards my mother and me, but eventually my mother made me understand that every man changes after marriage and thus her elder son too is behaving the same.
Recently, during a quarrel regarding property matters (which is still continuing even after more than half of the wealth has been given to my elder brother and her wife by my widow mother); my mother had started doubting the intentions of the girl.
Hence, please advise me and my mother regarding what conclusion can be drawn from this case ? And what precautions I should take legally so that my mother (my only guardian) does not get harmed in any way ?

Respected Sir, I am sorry that I forgot to mention that after the death of my father; we three i.e. my mother, I and my elder brother were truly the only legal heirs and we declared it through an affidavit in front Executive Magistrate and also our Ward Commissioner gave us the legal heir certificate from municipality. My father did not left any will hence in each and every property we three were the equal partners.
Now regarding the transfer of half of the wealth, I would clarify that my mother wanted peace to prevail in our family hence she agreed to the whims and wishes of her daughter in law (which was mutely backed by my elder brother).
I am still unmarried and wanted my widow mother (my only guardian)to be happy and thus as per her wish I too agreed with my mother, and ultimately we both gave our share of wealth in the name of my elder brother and his wife.
This is the process which we followed for satisfying my sister in law, who is advised and backed by her original brother who is a lawyer.

Whether you and your mother gave any Registered Relinquishment Deed in favour of your elder brother transfering some portion of your property (I mean immovable property) in his favour?

Respected Sirs, the immovable properties were given through registered gift deeds and some part of movable property given to them are recorded and some are unrecorded. And, my elder brother had shown all these as his inherited properties so that he gets income tax relief.
Hence, I shall mention that each and every transfer of immovable & movable properties were done by following legitimate processes, which were done under the supervision of the brother of my sister in law who is also a lawyer.
But, I will again point out my exact queries which are :
What intentions my sister in law might possess ?
What type of mischievious activity she could perform in future ?
Is she planning to divorce my brother and run away with the part of wealth given to them ? OR
If she could file a harassment suit on her in laws (i.e. my mother and me) and then blackmail us to give her the entire property ?
Thus, according to my mother "what is given has been given" but what steps I and mother could take as precautions to avoid any of the above incidents ?

Your last query indicates as if we are either human psychologists or astrologers. How can we anticipate the negative mind of a person? It may go negative to any extent. The material thing is you should legally make your position sound so that no harm could be made.
