Mothers claim on the self made property of the deceased son

Yes, your mother-in-law is a class I heir, and in the absence of any Will executed by your late husband, the property stands vested jointly with you, your child and mother-in-law. This is the law of the land, However, this provision could turn out to be inequitable in the exceptional case of a married son predeseasing his mother.

This is right that the widow of a hindu male and his daughter both fall in the category of class one legal heir as per Hindu Succession Act, 1956 . In parallel it is also established that mother becomes a natural guardian of a minor after the death of his/her  father and while keeping the child's welfare in view and as per the cirumstantial demand she is entitled to take a decision which should be beneficial for child's present status and should not affect child's future adversatively.

Mother of deceased Hindu son is ClassI legal heir of her deceased son.

Venu Sir,

You have made a very interesting observation.

Kindly illustrate.
