I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your wife and father-in-law. In regards to the property, since your father-in-law did not have a will in place, the property will be inherited by his legal heirs as per the Indian laws of inheritance. Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, in the absence of a will, the property of a person who passes away intestate (without a will) will devolve upon his legal heirs. Legal heirs, in this case, refer to the immediate family members of the deceased, which includes his wife, children, and parents. As your wife did not have any siblings, and your father-in-law did not have any other immediate family members, you and your wife would be the legal heirs of the property. To claim ownership of the property, you will need to apply for a legal heir certificate from the concerned authorities in India. The legal heir certificate is a document that proves the relationship between the deceased and the legal heirs. It is usually issued by a revenue officer or a court. Once you have obtained the legal heir certificate, you can apply for a mutation of the property in your name. Mutation is the process of transferring the ownership of the property from the deceased to the legal heirs. You will need to approach the municipal corporation office where the property is located and submit the legal heir certificate and other relevant documents. It's advisable to seek legal assistance in India to navigate through the legal process and ensure that all the necessary formalities are completed correctly.
