1) After death of women by Ipso facto the property belongs to Husband. Generally such property earned by her own saving and hard work is not Ancestor property. It is called as self acquired property.

2) If women dies with out making any will then such self acquired property will be devoled to Joint Hindu Family members class one heirs.

Thanks
