Property received by your late mother in law from her brothrr will be treated your mother in law's self acquired property and if your mother in law died intaste then property rights will devolve equally to her son and daughter so your wife will be entitled to get half share of property.

Dear Querist,
As per the Hindu succession act, 1956 the property of mother-in- law would be equally passed to both the heirs. Sec.15 of this act talks about the devolution of the property. First preference is always given to both son and daughter and hence, in your case too. Wife’s brother will get the same amount.
Regards,
