Dear,
I am christian and am married to a hindu girl in a hindu temple as per hindu rituals and registered in special marriage act.
My FIL was intenting to leave his full property in my wifes name as per his will but due to family issues it seems that he has been brainwashed and he now he doesnt want to do that anymore , no problems with us.
However I want to know if my FIL was to die without mentioning anything about my wife in his will as they are four siblings will she be legally get any share from property if so how much? Anything we need to do to safe guard our interests right now.
Kindly guide us.

1. If no will is made then the property would devolve upon all his legal heirs in equal shares. But if Will is made and it excludes your wife's name then she cannot do any thing about it.
2. Be tactful, keep looking after him and tends to all his needs. Win his confidence.

on demise of your father in law your wife would have 1/4th share in the property .

In absence of any will your wife would get equal share with other legal heirs on demise of your FIL. In case of will it would be divided as per will.

Agreed with experts.
It is believed that FIL's property is not ancestral, and is self acquired.

Expert rightly opined that in the event of your FIL's death after bequeathing his property through Will in favor of people of his choice and if your wife's name has not been included as a beneficiary, she does not have any claim or right over the property left behind making full arrangement for its disposal, however, if no Will was executed by him before his death, the entire property will devolve equally upon all his legal heirs. You cannot do anything in the name of safeguarding the rights because as of now there is no right vested on anyone over the property except your FIL.
