    If you have any proof that house which was sold has been inserted by your mother in law from her parents, then your husband would have his share in that property as per prevailing law of succession in the absence of any will by your mother in law.

    Accordingly you would be entitled for his share and so on according ya cording to law of succession.

    Hey. After your husband's death, u can not claim right in a property which is a self acquired property of ur mother in law . Yes, ur son can claim a right but that too after ur mother in law is no more and she has not left any will in some other person's name .

    Hi,

    You have all the rights which your husband had before his death because you are his legal heir.

    One could easily argue that it was joint family property so yes you as well as your son would get the share that would have been your husband's. The easiest way would to see how it has been treated in the ITRs.
