As per inheritance laws, wide is entitled to share in property after demise of husband. But share shall be claimed from joint hindu family property which comes from forefathers. Wife of deceased brother shall not claim from self earned property of mother in laws. For more details kindly take appointment for consultation so that I will advise you more properly as per your facts and circumstances which differ from person to person.
