Yes, a widowed mother in India can sell land inherited from her deceased son. The wife’s rights depend on the specific inheritance laws applicable to the property and the son’s will, if any. If the wife isn’t actively managing the property, the mother may be able to sell it.

My father, who owned his home, transferred it to my mother, a homemaker, before he passed away. My brother took a loan of 20 lakhs, with my mother as a co-applicant, to build a house on the property. My brother and I both share the EMI payments equally. The property is registered in my mother’s name, and the loan is also in her and my brother’s names. Now, my mother wants to transfer the house to her grandson (my brother’s son) through a will, leaving me out. Is it legally possible for her to do this even though the property is under a loan?

The property is on a long lease of 99 years, part of a flood-affected society established in the 1970s. My sister is aggressively seeking control of the property.
