No rights in father property as per the law. If her father makes will may be allotted bar share , here no document and second wife also claim her share in the property , if will or any other documents executed by her husband or to show any proof she is a wife of deceased husband.
Here your wife will not entertain her share in the fathers property. Consult more matters in this case.

Yes every daughter has a right in fathers property. But if will has been made things will go as per the will. Consult a lawyer have a meeting, explain the facts, find about whether will has been executed, then you can have a proper understanding of this matter.

Thanks for writing to me.

If the divorce process & settlement was complete and fully executed then the first wife has no claim subsisting. Nevertheless the claI'm of all children remains remain unaltered in ancestral property.
