As your deceased husband's property is located in Hyderabad, India, Indian law will govern the inheritance of the property. In general, in the absence of a will, Indian law provides for the property of a deceased person to be inherited by their legal heirs.

To claim the property, you will need to establish your status as a legal heir of your husband under Indian law. This may require obtaining a certificate of legal heirship from the Indian authorities, which will require providing documentation such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates.

In addition, it may be necessary to obtain letters of administration or a similar court order from an Indian court in order to legally transfer the property to your name. It is advisable to consult with an Indian lawyer who has experience in inheritance and property matters to guide you through this process.

As you are US citizens, it may also be advisable to consult with a US attorney who has experience in international estate planning matters to ensure that your estate plan takes into account your overseas assets and the potential tax implications of inheriting foreign property.

Overall, the process of claiming the property in India may be complex, and it is important to seek legal advice from attorneys familiar with both Indian and US law to ensure that the process is carried out in a legally sound and efficient manner.
