It appears your husband was a partner in the business
After his demise the benefits of the business would survive to his legal heirs
The fact that you were being paid a monthly sum from out of the profits of that business, makes it somewhat appear that your husband was indeed a partner
You also need to get hold of the document which was made to be signed by your husband and sister in law
To lay a claim for a share in the business you will have to file a civil suit against your brother in law
Will is not required. If it was the sole proprietorship of your late father in law then on his demise the business devolved on his 2 sons equally and after demise of one of his sons, on the legal heirs of deceased son
