The share of deceased shareholders shall devolve equally on all their legal heirs. 

Therefore the wife and children are entitled to a share in the monthly rental amount derived out of the property.

Nominee is only trustee for legal heirs 

 

2) since deceased died intestate property would devolve on his wife and children 

 

3) children can relinquish their share in favour of mother

1. On what basis you call the property ancestral in the first place?

2. If all the co-owners/coparcenors are ready to let the widow of deceased brother take rent in her account then all that needs to be done is an agreement with tenant so that he can put the rent in her account.

3. The daughter can file a suit for recovery of her portion of rent in the civil court if mother dies.

the nominee will hold the rent of the share of the deceased brother as a trustee of the legal heirs of the deceased brother

the rent of the share of the deceased brother should now go to the daughter and the widow

they will have to be included as joint account holders in the joint bank account

but the bank will ask for an heirship certificate or a letter of administration or NOCs from other joint account holders

so with the aforesaid paperwork the widow and daughter can be included as joint account holders
