Your brother's wife and his mother are his legal heirs and they are legally entitled to get insurance claim irrespective of that your brother's wife is nominee of insurance claim.It is noted that status of nominee is only trustee of amount and she has to distribute the same to legal heirs.

Hello,

Yes, your parents are also legal heirs and they are entitled to claim their share in the insurance amount.

The nominee shall get benefit for life insurance.

However, the nominee has to share the benefit with mother of deceased.

It is better to consult a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/ documents and professional advise.
