Claim of daughter-in-law on father-in-law's property

Sandip Samanta (Querist) 19 January 2015 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,

My question is:

In absence(death) of her husband, whether daughter-in-law can claim on her father-in-law's "self-acquired" property or not?

Daughter-in-law is a mother of a minor daughter.

Regards,

The father's share goes to the wife and daughter.

Yes she can claim the share in the share of her husband.

You have mentioned that the property is self acquired.........
If Father is law is alive he can give it away to anyone as it pleases to him by sale/gift/WILL.......

If father in law is not alive and has not left any WILL then daughter in law and child can have a share from the son's (husband's) share ....

I fully agree with the advice of expert Shri Kumar Doab.

During the life time of father in law or upon arrangement through a Will of his property after his demise, the daughter in law or her minor son cannot stake any claim or have any right over the self acquired properties of her father in law.

The query significantly raise the question of accrual of title interest of an widow daughter-in-law in father-in-laws self earned property. If the son predeceased his father then widow daughter -in-law cannot claim any share in father-in-law's property as a matter of right. Whereas, if father-in -law dies during life time of the husband his widow can claim the share of her husband.
