You and your minor son have rights to claim the share of the properties that belonged to your husband even if it was ancestral share meant for him.

You can issue legal notice to your father in law who may be controlling the household affairs seeking partition and separate possession of the shares of you and your minor son, if he refuses you may approach civil court with a suit for partition and injunction restraining them from alienating the property to any third person till the disposal of the suit.

LIC Policy monies and bank deposits cannot be taken away by nominees.The nominees in such cases are mere custodians of the money, they have to disburse the same to the legal heirs of the deceased after receiving it from the said organisations. You can file a civil suit for recovery of the said money insofar as your share and your minor son's shares are concerned.

If they are threatening, first issue them a legal notice warning them to restrain themselves from indulging in such illegal acts against you and your interest after that you can proceed legally against them for recovering your share of property that was due to your deceased husband.

Somebody cannot lodge a complaint on such serious issues without any base or evidence. It will not be possible for them to prove anything at this stage until and unless they have a fresh post mortem report done through a court order by digging out the body once again if it was buried and there are no chances if he dead body was cremated. Their oral complaint without any evidence or base will not be entertained by police, you can always challenge if here is one with the help of the supporting medical records of your deceased autistic husband. In any event you should be alert because some greedy and culprit police officials for the consideration received may harass you without any reason to extract money from you too, you may take the help of a lawyer and get anticipatory bail first in the event of any FIR registered against you over the false and malicious complaint given against you.
