My uncle passed away recently, leaving behind a bungalow. He was unmarried and had no children or parents. His nephew, who is his wife’s brother’s son, is currently looking after the property. I’m wondering who has the legal right to inherit the bungalow?

Under the Indian Succession Act, the property will be inherited by the deceased’s legal heirs, who are his brothers and sisters. The nephew, as a son of the wife’s brother, is not a legal heir and does not have a right to inherit the bungalow.
