My Father died leaving behind his wife, Sons and Daughters. He has also left behind a self-earned property. We are Hindus. Subsequently one of his sons also passed away leaving behind his wife and children. The following question pertains to my brother's share in Father's property.
1. Does my Mother have a share in brother's property inherited from my father.
2. Does my Brother's wife have a share in my brother's property inherited from my father or only his children have a share

1. Your mother being a Class-I heir of your deceased brother, will have a share in your brother's property inherited from your father.
2. Your brother's wife being a class-I heir of your deceased brother will have her share.
Similarly, the children of your brother being Class-I heirs will also get their share.

For my brother this is inherited property and not self-earned property. Does this make any difference?

Yes, it don't have any difference if your brother's inherited property or self-earned property.
Agree with mr.ramachandran advise.
