The wife is having 50% share in the flat and other moveable assets
The husband died prior to her demise and so his 50% devolved on the wife (I am assuming that when the husband died, his mother was not alive)
Upon death of husband, his 50% share would devolve on his mother, widow and children equally under section 8 of Hindu Succession Act read with Scheduld I
Here assuming the mother of the husband predeceased him, and in absence of any children, the husband's share devolved on the wife
Thereafter the wife died
Now she had her own 50% share in the flat plus the 50% which she inherited from her husband
Thus in absence of any children her own 50% share will go to the heirs of her husband under clause b of sub section 1 of s. 15 of Hindu Succession Act
Further the 50% that she inherited from her husband would also go to the legal heirs of her husband as per clause b of sub section 2 of HSA
Thus the entire flat would devolve on the legal heirs of the husband
As there are no class 1 legal heirs of the husband (who are his mother, widow and children) the property will devolve on his class 2 heirs
I assume that the father of the husband is no more
Father of husband is a class 2 legal heir under Entry 1
So the property will go to the siblings of the husband who fall under class 2 entry 2 (ie brother and sister of the husband)
The siblings of the wife cannot claim any right
As there is a nomination left in favour of the wife's sister's son and his son (I assume that nomination is for the entire flat) the property can be transferred to that nominee
However that nominee will not hold the property as an owner but only as a trustee for the siblings of the husband
The letter of administration cannot be applied by the nominee but by the siblings of the husband
The LA holder has to transfer the property to the legal heirs of the deceased ie the siblings of the husband
Getting a LA is a lengthy and an expensive procedure
It requires payment of court fees of max Rs 75k depending on the value of the assets
Plus there would be lawyer's professional fees and clerkage
The LA application has to be filed as a petition in the Bombay High Court
If the LA petition is filed by any one sibling of the husband with consent of other siblings then no notice is required to be given as all legal heirs would consent for grant of the LA
It takes about 8 to 10 months to get a LA grant
In the meanwhile the LA applicant can apply for appointment of an administrator who can take care of the property until the LA is granted
