In the instance, if the property is self acquired then at his wish to distribute to any one.
If the property is ancestors then all the legal heir's will get equal share.
Accordingly Property will be divided

HI,
you can not file case on him for your share in the property when he is alive.
if the property is self acquired by your father in law he can give his property according to his wish and will.
sons and grandsons can't have any share in the property.

Hi
after the amendment of hindu succession act, the self acquired property of the father in law will devolve on his legal heirs(wife, son and daughter) in absence of any Will or Gift). Grand son's will not have any share of property when Son is alive.
However to complicate things rather than giving up easily, you can claim that the properties are ancestral or acquired through funds generated from ancestral properties and file a case. Filing a case will only get the parties to the negotiating table.
