Right of borrowers on house and land

My brother has borrowed some amount at different times through promissory notes. Now he passed away. House is in the name of my brother and land is in the name of his wife. Land was bought after the marriage.  I know that lenders can have rights on my brother's estate(house in this case). whether lenders can file a suite to collect the debts through land which is in the name of my brother's wife.

The lender can file a money recovery suit and once he gets a judgment in his favor then he can file an execution petition to execute the judgment, in that he can seek attachment of the property lying on the name of the borrower

All LRs of your brother shall inherit his assets and liabilities and will be impleaded as a party for recovery of loan .

House is in the name of my brother. But land is in the name of my brother's wife. So, lenders can recover money only from my brother's estate i.e house and not land?

It depends on how the defendants defend their interest and challenge the case in court.

The legal heirs of your brother are otherwsie laible to pay the debt.

You can proceed on house which was in your brother's name but you cannot claim against his wifes asset.
