As per Hindu law A wife can claim her share from her husband's property only. Property in the name of in-laws can not be claimed by the wife. She can only claim share from the share of her husband. Therefore, You can only claim from the share of your husband.

As a Hindu wife one has following ways of deriving the wealth from husband. 1. from his share of Hindu joint family property , you get share from the husbands share, if he dies, then equal distribution of his share among you and your children. ( if he dies without will or intestate) 2. If he writes a will, then as per the will, the share is distributed. 3. If it was his own separate property , or self acquired property , not joint Hindu one, then he can write off whole of the property to anyone. 4. Now coming to the question of shares/capital in a company , legally it should go to the legal heirs,if he dies without any will or other contract with the company to assign his capital contribution to anyone else, or that the company has a policy to appoint the capital to other than the wife , you should have the share as the legal hire. 5. With respect to the share of mother in law, similarly about the share of mother in law, it would be her legal heirs to have the share which would include her husband and children, and the via your husband you can derive the share.
