Can eldest daughter-in-law claim all gifted jewellery legally?
If a mother-in-law gives the same jewellery to her three daughters-in-law at the time of their marriages and she dies a few years later, who does the jewellery legally belong to — the eldest daughter-in-law or all of them equally?

If the mother-in-law gave each daughter-in-law jewellery at the time of their marriage as a gift, then that jewellery legally belongs to each of them individually. After her death, no one else can claim it, not even the eldest daughter-in-law. Each daughter-in-law keeps the jewellery gifted to her personally.
