Dear Anjana,

Question no  1:The property acquired becomes the absolute property of the widow's heirs.

Question no 2 and 3:Since the property is not ancestral the son's children have no right in their fathers property .

Question no 4: He can sell it to anybody  . The son born after the sale has no right in the property as the property is the absolute property of his father

Question no 5:The 1/3rd share will go the grandson andgranddaughter  of widow A if widow A dies intestate.
