Property Rights For Widows

Summary

In Maharashtra, a widow is a Class I legal heir with equal rights to her deceased husbands property alongside her mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law passes away, her share is inherited by her legal heirs, including daughters. A widow can sell her share but needs consent for the entire property. A gift deed requires registration, and a sub-registrar may visit if bedridden. Legal heirs have rights despite bill payments. Consider negotiation or legal partition to secure your share.
