The Legal Heir of the the Person from whom you had taken the money are his mother, his wife and his child.
Let them produce the Legal Heir or Succession certificate. In any case unless the wife and mother in-law claim together, don't pay the money to anyone.
If the time of returning the money has ended open an account and fixed deposit it, so that if they go to Court, you can produce the Fixed Deposit Certificate in the court and let the court decide, whom to give the money.
In that case, they also cannot claim interest, as you can show your bonafideness and they will be restricted to the interest accrued in the Fixed Deposit.

There is a special type of suit that you can file where the court decides the two competing claims. This is a good way to ensure that you give the proceeds to the right person. This will prevent other parties from proceeding against you as you will be bound by an order of the court.

you should give the money to the deceased child by draft because he is the only one who is legal hair of the property or money after he get major, and the second one you say the deceased mother by agreement so you can give both of them.
