Answer 1

Well this is a sorry situation for you, but unfortunately the will of your father in law stands & all wealth goes to your mother in law's account. Even today itself Supreme Court judgment with regard to a will made by the father against his own son & in favor of his niece & nephew was held valid & applicable. In your case the will of your father in law if made with all required conditions necessary for making a valid will were taken into account, that will stand valid for all purpose. All you can do is either request your mother in law to share the wealth she got by this will along with you & allow you to stay in the same house where you live now or take whatever share of amount she is giving you out of the sale of this house & buy a new house for yourself. As far legally you cannot do anything to stop her from whatever she is doing with this wealth, as it is her own self acquired property which she got from her husband, it becomes her stridhan for which no one has a say. Just be happy from what ever you get now from her otherwise even this won't come to you incase you try to stop her by taking any legal course. As far interference from her brother is concerned, you can’t do any thing legally for that as you know you are also a lady & having relatives against whom you won't tolerate to hear any thing wrong in any case.

Answer 2

I your father in law willed everything to his wife like most people do, she can sell it or do with it as she wishes. Be glad she is giving you anything as your father in law did not leave you anything? You can either take the money and buy a home or buy the house she is selling. What she is doing is not uncommon.

Answer 3

Baby -the way you describe , you are not in the picture.
You can get a court order to VIEW the will , if you have any doubt about the interpretation.
If there is something for you , then by all means you'll get your share. If there's nothing for you - sorry brother / whatever she gives you , collect and move on.

Answer 4

If the property was self-acquired by your father-in-law,then forget about getting any share.You have no valid claim over any part of the assets willed by him.If the property is ancestral then your husband can claim his share.

Answer 5

What advise do you need? She is executor of the estate. She is the spouse of your deceased father-in-law. She can do whatever she wants with the estate. Be happy she is giving you something and not putting you out on the street.

Answer 6

God bless you. Seems that jealousy has overcome your in laws. While I am not an attorney and cannot offer you legal advice my heart go out to you and your wife. Eventually, you will need Attorney' expertise to protect your interests. Good luck.

Answer 7

how to challange the will u may ask RS Lodha who was embroiled in Birla will case . i think it was priyawardan birla running in to 5000 crores.

U have mother in law or mother outlaw. u are asking for alms or matter of right .
It appears u married in the family after reading the earlier will which got changes subsequently.

Answer 8

Obviously each country has different laws, but my understanding would be that your MIL is entitled as the primary beneficary of your FIL's estate to do what she wants with the property and any monies. Unless you already have some legal agreement with her or your FIL.

I think you should seek urgent legal advice, but I don't like your chances,
Sorry,

Answer 9

you can get a court order to procure a copy of the will.

if it was a self aquired property you are out of luck

Answer 10
