My mother is facing a tough situation. She had a legal dispute with my brother over her property, but he unfortunately passed away. We want to settle the case now, but my sister-in-law refuses to leave our home. She insists on selling the property and getting an equal share, even though it’s my mother’s. Is she legally entitled to this?

Under Indian law, your sister-in-law has no automatic right to inherit your brother’s share of the property. However, she may have a claim based on her husband’s will or a legal claim of ownership if she can demonstrate she contributed significantly to its acquisition. A lawyer can advise on the specific legal arguments and options available in your mother’s situation.
