The first and foremost step is to make a will in respect of your properties which belong to you, to avoid any dispute in future. As far as your daughter -in - laws rights are concerned, it is clear from your query that she is remarried and therefore now cannot even claim residence rights in your property, the children of your deceased son can however claim their rights in your property. That's why you are advised to make a will according to your wish to avoid any such disputes.

Wife of deceased son can claim her right and share in the ancestral property as per Hindu Succession Act. Her remarriage can not take away her right in the property. For any further query feel free to contact Thanks

You ex- daughter in law cannot claim any right in the property owned by you. She might have had maintenance rights, but since she has remarried, that right also does not subsist anymore. Although, if your late son had any children, they would have a right in their ancestral property but not any property acquired by you. Feel free to reach out for further assistance.

in your circumstances, I will suggest you to go ahead with registration of a Will as according to me the wife who left became the co owner upon the death of her husband. merely marrying other person doesn't go away with the rights already transferred to her as per succession.
