If her husband died without a will then she along with her children and mother-in-law is an equal shareholder in the property. Her mother-in-law cannot claim to be the sole owner of the property. The rent so collected is to be apportioned equally between her, her children and her mother-in-children. She can file a case for partition to cull out her share in the property and also the rent collected till date by her mother-in-law after the death of her husband.

Hi, if husband died leaving behind wife and son, legal heirs can file a suit for partition and and will get the property what are all inherited by her husband. and it is better make a tenant party in the partition suit direct the tenant to deposit the rent to before the court.
