Wife's Property Rights After Husband's Death: 99% Women Misinformed

• Indian law states a husband's property is divided among 'Class I Heirs' if no Will exists, not solely to the wife.
• Class I Heirs include the wife, children (son and daughter), and the husband's mother, each receiving an equal share.
• If a Will exists, it is followed; challenging it requires proof of fraud or duress.
• A daughter-in-law cannot claim in-laws' property while they are alive; she can only claim it if her husband dies before his father, and then the father-in-law also passes away without a Will.
• Daughters have equal rights to their father's property as sons, both self-acquired and ancestral, following the 2005 amendment.
