No. The legal heirs of mother are not entitled to get her share. It will goes to the wife of the person who met with accident. But there is no retrospective effect for this. The date of mothers death is considered for this issue in a recent ruling of supreme court

Certainly. After the demise of the mother, the amount is entitled equally to the legal heirs ie.. a) firstly upon the sons and daughters ( including the children of any pre-deceased son or daughter and the husband secondly.... upon the heirs of the husband so on Since your wife come under the proviso a mentioned above she is also entitled to get a equal share on mothers amount
