The share of deceased husband in the property devolves on all his legal heirs which includes his children and wife, mother (if alive), hence the wife even though she is a joint owner and a nominee, she cannot become an absolute owner of the entire property with clear and marketable title. Hence she has to get a registered release deed from other legal heirs of her deceased husband relinquishing their rights in the proeprty. In this case there is a minor child having a right in her father's share in the property, hence court permission to sell her share in the property has to be obtained before selling her share of property.

Yes. Very well analyzed by Sri T,Kalaiselvan sir.

Yes, since deceased husband's property rights devolved to his wife and children and and since deceased's daughter is minor so to sell the minors share in property courts permission is essential.

Is the mother of your husband alive? If so, she also has a share in the property.
If not, the property is absolutely is vested with you and the children.
The buyer willing, minors property could be sold even in the absence of the Court's permission. However, the minor has the option to repudiate the transaction, within the period of limitation, once he or she attains majority.
