As your husband died before his mother, the will cannot take effect after the death of mother . The will shall have no effect unless it states what should happen in such an event. In any case, a will only come into effect when the person who has made the will passes away. So now property will go as per Hindu succession Act and everyone will have share in property. as your mother in law did not make appropriate changes in will.
