1. The daughter in law does not inherit the property left by her in laws.

2. SO in this case in the death of mother the widow will not get her half share unless she makes a Will or gift deed during her lifetime.

3. Since the mother has 3 daughters they will inherit their mother's half share in the property in the event she dies intestate.

1. 50% share of mother-in-law will not rollback to the widowed daughter-in-law, if mother-in-law dies intestate ( without executing a WILL ).

2. If mother-in-law dies intestate, then her share in the property would devolve equally to all her legal heirs, including the wife and children of the deceased son. In the instant case 3 daughters and a son. In other words, her property would devolve equally to 3 daughters and 1 son in the ratio of 25% each in four parts. The 25% share of the deceased son will be subdivided equally amongst his wife and children.

3. However, if the mother-in-law executes a WILL in respect of her share in the property and bequeathed it to someone, then after the death of mother-in-law, the beneficiary would be entitled to her share.

The mother should not get anything as the wife is the first heir along with children. Property goes to parents if a person's spouse and children are not present.

If half the share went to the mother then it would be shared amongst her children.

If there are no other sharers, the wife has full right to inherit the entire property of her deceased husband. “According to Section 10 of the Hindu Succession Act, the distribution of property takes place among all heirs, including the deceased's widow,”

If the mother of the deceased son has not taken possession of the property i.e., not transferred her share of property to her name during her lifetime then her share in the property inherited through her deceased son shall revert to the other  Class I legal heirs of her deceased son.
