The property is of fully private nature which purchase and owned by you and your husband . Your in-laws has no any right in such property. There is no such provision in Hindu succession Act 1956 unless that have a proper evidence of financial help provided to you in repaying the loan on said property after sad demise of your husband.

Dear Client,
As per law Class Ist Heirs are :Son, Daughter, Widow, Mother, etc. hence mother in law will have 1/4 share in the property of son.

It would be advisable if you can reach out to any of the impaneled advocate of lawrato. while going for the consultation do carry all your supportive documents so that proper and precise advise can be given.

This is my response to you:
1. Technically speaking your mother in law has an 1/4th share in the property;
2. You will need to get her NOC then only the property can be wholly transferred to you;
3. You can also pay her some nominal amount and buy out her share;
4. Consult a local lawyer and sort it out.
