How much daughter -in -law’s right to in -laws’ property? Know what the law says

News India Live, Digital Desk: The main reason for disputes is often not to know the right knowledge of the legal rights related to the property. Therefore, it is very important to know your legal rights on any immovable property. In particular, the situation should be clear when it is about the rights of property between family members-husband-wife, father-son and mother-in-law.

Here we understand what the law says in relation to the rights of the daughter-in-law on the property of husband and wife and in-laws:

Rights in husband and wife’s property:

If both husband and wife have their own personal property, then both have full authority over it.

  • Self-realized property (Self-Cquired Property), that is, the owner of the own earned property is free to give it or transfer it to anyone. In this, both husband and wife have complete freedom.

  • The wife has full legal right to live in her husband’s house or property.

Daughter-in-law’s right to mother-in-law’s property:

The son usually has a legal right over the property of the parents.

  • Daughter-in-law can not directly claim her mother-in-law’s property.,

  • If the mother-in-law’s property is transferred to the husband’s name, then the husband can do it to his wife (daughter-in-law).

  • If the husband dies before the daughter-in-law, and after that the mother-in-law also dies, then in such a situation the daughter-in-law gets the right to property, Provided that the mother-in-law has not made it a will.

  • If the mother-in-law makes her property a will to someone else, then the daughter-in-law will not get that property.

Wife’s right in husband’s property:

After the death of the husband, the wife’s right depends on the property of the husband whether the husband has a will or not.

  • If he has not done any will after the husband’s death, the property has the right to both the wife and the deceased’s mother (if alive).

  • The wife has no right over her property directly. The husband himself is the master of his property, and can transfer him to anyone as per his wish.

Understand in simple language:

  • The daughter-in-law does not get the right to her mother-in-law’s property directly.

  • In the property in the name of the husband, the husband can give authority to the wife (daughter -in -law).

  • If she did not make any will after her husband’s death, then the wife’s legal right is made on property.

  • If the wife can not occupy her husband’s property while living with her husband.
