Son is eqaul owner of everything she left. And her share in property will go to son and husband equally - half each.

Husband can claim him and child.

1. Your nephew is entitled to a share in his mother's bank account proceeds, in case your sister died intestate (without executing a WILL).

2. If on the other hand, if your sister had executed a WILL and named beneficiaries in bequeathing her money and property, then it will go to the beneficiaries stated by her in her WILL.

3. The ancestral property can be given to the nephew and your sister's husband will not have a claim on his deceased wife's ancestral property.

If ancestral property is undivided than he can't claim if you want to sale or divided it than husband can claim and her son do have share in the property.

Hi

Yes her husband can claim. Better you transfer your sister's share directly to the nephew on your own.

- As per the Hindu Succession Act, if a Hindu woman passes away - All her acquired properties (Movable or immovable) shall be inherited by her legal heirs .

- Hence after the demise of your sister ,her assets/bank account amount will be equally distributed between her son and husband. and similarly the share from the undivided ancestral property will also distributed. 

- Further , her husband cannot sell the share of the minor without  getting permission from the Court.

As per law, upon your sister reported to have died intestate, all the properties that are lying on her name and the properties that she is entitled from her father side shall devolve on hr own legal heirs consisting her husband and the child.

Her husband is entitled to half share in all her properties including the movable properties.

You cannot legally stop your brother in law from claiming or inheriting his legitimate share in the proeprty that belonged to your deceased sister.

1. If your sister passed away intestate then all her assets, movable and immovable, have devolved on her husband and children equally. Husband is not the only heir to your deceased sister. You can as the next friend of your nephew file a suit for partition of the property of your deceased sister to preserve the share of your nephew.

2. The share of your sister in the ancestral property also devolves on her husband and son.

1. Husband & Child, both are entitled to EQUAL share in ALL the properties of Sister, PROVIDED sister did not make any WILL.

2. Ancestral Property can be partitioned and Sister's share can be registered ONLY in name of Sister's son, without any claim or reference to Sister's Husband.

3. IF Child is Minor, THEN a Husband (being a biological father) shall be the Guardian (till major age of child), ELSE a Civil Court petition also can be moved to appoint somebody else as "Legal Representative" of minor Child, for specific purpose of holding all Assets that maybe in name of Minor child.

The property belongs only to her son and to no one else. Her husband has no share whatsoever in any property movable or immovable except that which has been given to him or he has been made nominee.
