Husband is suffering from end stage brain cancer. Has lost mental balance due to the disrase. In laws polluted his minds against his wife and he changed the name of nominee (wife) to his mother. How the wife would get the property after his death. They have two minors children aged 5 and one year.

The nominee is just a trust to received the property on behalf of the lgal heirs.

His wife and children together with his mother are class I legal heirs and they are legally entitled to an equal share in his property, hence nothing to be worried about this change of nomination.

Now he treats me as his enemy and even lost his sense of love and responsibility towards the kids. The doctor said patients actually become mad as the cancer (stage4 glioblastoma) progresses. Can I claim his property (flat ) and other after his death.

The doctor' opinion that a cancer patient will become mad is incorrect, there is no such issue or impact to this disease.

As a legal heir the wife is entitled to her share i his property even though he may nominate others.
