Dear Experts,
My wife has four siblings sister, my father in law passed away in 2024. She has no brother. My mother in law is house wife. My father in law has purchased a house in 2000 and got registered on the name of mother in law. Me and my wife are looking after my mother in law after the death of my father in law. we want equally 5 share of property for all the sisters of my wife. My Mother in law want to gift property only to younger sister of my wife. though, this property is not the self earned property of my mother in law. My query is that , do we have any legal rights to stop my mother in law for gifting the house to younger sister of my wife.
Regards,
Srikant

This property was purchased by a registered sale deed on the name of your mother in law hence it becomes her own and absolute property.
Therefore she can transfer it to anyone as per her will and wish.

No,your wife has no right to claim any share in the property belongs to your mother in law as absolute owner moreso your mother in law is alive.Your mother in law being absolute owner has every right to sell,gift or transfer the property as per her wish no one has right to challenge her decision regarding transfer of property.
