In whose name the document was registered? Though your father invested in the property if the document is in your brother's name, it should be treated as his own. So for the property, his wife, children if any, and mother are legal heirs. The nominee is not an owner, he is the only custodian of the property either movable or immovable, and hands over the same to the legal heirs of the deceased.

Hello,
Yes, your mother is also the legal heir along with your brother's wife and children. So they are legal heirs in flat and insurance amounts.

Yes , your mother is also legal heir of your deceased brother so she is legally entitled to get share in your brother's flat along with your brother's wife and children also entitled to get share in insurance amount.

In an unfortunate situation, why you are hair splitting the issues, even if there are laws to be relied upon. Is it not your duty not to cause any inconvenience to your late brother's family?
