mother-in-law claim share in sons properties

Hey,

From what you have written, I understood that Lady’s husband died and now her mother-in-law wants share in her husband’s property.

If she is governed under the Hindu Succession Act then under Section 8, her husband’s property will be inherited by her daughter, her, and her mother-in-law.

Her mother- in law does have a right in her husband’s property. Then afterward, if she (mother-in-law) didn’t execute a will and died intestate (without a will), her property will be inherited by her sons, daughters, and the lady’s children.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Rajinder

Hello,

As per Hindu Succession Act husband's wife, children, and parents are in class I legal heirs. So her mother in law is the legal heir of her husband's property having equal share as per her daughter and herself. 

1. IF Husband has died without executing any WILL, THEN property standing in name of Husband can be legally claimed in EQUAL ratio by Husband's Mother, Wife & Children.  No other relation have any legal right to claim on deceased Husband's property.
