Is her mother is law is still alive?
Will comes into effect only when she dies.
Since the beneficiary dies before the succession opens, her grandson or daughter in law gets nothing through the Will.

No there is no such thing mention in that her mother is deceased and now my cousin is also deceased and according to will her house will go to her son as her daughter give her property rights in favour of her brother who is no more so my question is what will his wife do now .

On the death of your cousin brother, the property under the will he received from his mother will devolve on his legal heirs exclusively. There is no need to alienate the rights of your cousin sister as far as this property is concerned, as she is already excluded by the will.

If your cousin is the beneficiary on whose favor the property was bequeathed by his mother, provided his mother had a title over the property, and the testator is presumed to be dead, the Will shall come into force and the legal heirs of the beneficiary will automatically acquire the property.

You have not answered whether her sister is intending to claim any share in the property bequeathed in the Will?
The sister can challenge the Will if the beneficiaries donot fulfill the condition of the Will.
