This widow already got 70% of her fair share and is still greedy about the share of the property of husband. Now if the husband is dead without making any will beforehand, she could get complete information of the husband's financials in India based on his PAN card number by writing to Banking obudsman using his PAN number. Since the widow becomes the successor of this person, she can legally as the banks to trasfer the amout if he has sole accounts with those banks. If he had joint account (either or survivor type) then the joint member of the account will get everything. It is very easy if she could go to the city where husband lived in India and query using his PAN card number.
If the husband had made a will and it is his self-earned property then after the death, the said "will" makes the successor liable to claim everything and if she is not the successor, she will not get even a dime.
As far as his job in foreign country is concerned, most of the countries do not allow the share of wife unless she is on the accompanied visa and had been living with the husband until his death with no divorce or litigation case pending (atleast this is as per USA/California state law). The husband if has insurance can be claimed by the entire family of beneficiaries and if wife is not enlisted as beneficiary then she will not get anything. If the wife were a beneficiary and she has valid proof of the death of the husband (not by suicide or terrorist attack) then she could write to the corresponding insurance company. To know the husband's insurance company she will have to write to HR of the company with the details of his death. If the husband has changed the beneficiary before 90 days of hs death, the changes will take place and the new beneficiaries will get the insurance benefit and property benefits.
This had already happened to a friend of mine in USA and his wife followed the procedure from India to get all the benefits. The only thing was there was no divorce litigation going on with her family at that time.
Hope it helps.
