Hello,

Ask your brother and mother to record such threats.

Ask them to call the police at the time when she is drunk/ intoxicated.

Also, ask your mother to lodge a criminal case against the sister in law.

if they want to save themselves and the property then they will have to approach the police.

Your mother needs to lodge a police complaint against your sister in law for threatening her and also if the property is your mother name then she can bring a suit for injunction restraining your sister in law and her parents from entering your mother's home. Other hand you can file a suit for partition if it's ancestral property so that your mother too will get one share in property and lead her life peacefully

On whose name is the property?

If it is on your mother's name then she can send legal notice to both your brother and his wife to vacate the house.

Then she can file an eviction petition on the same grounds.

Your brother can opt to live out of the house.

If her mother is also tormenting them then they can lodge a criminal complaint against her mother when she happens to visit the house.

Your brother has to take steps to legally solve the issue.
