Although I understand that the FD amount belongs to your father in law and should go to his legal heirs. But as he did a joint FD with his brother therefore he can claim over the amount in the joint FD as most FD are are"Either or Survivor". You may check the nature of FD but it would be difficult for you to claim over that amount. For computing the tax liability more details would be required.
