Hello,
I am writing this query on behalf of my sister, who's husband passed away recently. When we approached for Legal heir certificate, the Local body (Panchayat Office) told us that since the deceased mother is alive, as per Hindu succession act, along with the wife and children of the deceased the mother also will be a part of Legal heir. My question is if Mother passes away, will her other children (i.e. deceased brother/sister) will also turn to be Legal Heirs? Or after mother passes away, the wife and children of the deceased only continue to be Legal Heir.

I think that the deceased mother alive means if your sister's husband's mother is alive, then his mother, wife and children are legal heirs.

Ok Thank you @sudhir Sir, @Bhartesh Sir, @Satyanarayana Sir for your reply-
So, what I understand is that if mother passes away then her other children also become legal heirs in my brother in laws assets/properties.

You have misinterpreted the answers given by various experts above,.
The mother comes into the picture as the legal heir into this subject due to the death of her son.
Once she dies, then her legal heirship will close after that, with this family.
