A wife does not automatically have legal rights over her husband's property if it is in his mother's name, unless the property is jointly owned or she has been specifically given rights in a legal agreement. She may have a claim if the property is held in trust or if it is part of family assets. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
