Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

My wife had two elder brothers. The younger brother got married and has two sons. Immediately after the demise of her husband, the widow returned to her parents and never contacted. Recently the other senior brother, who was a bachelor expired while on service. He has made my wife as the nominee to his provident fund amount and the employer has paid the entire money to my wife.

Can the widow or her sons claim any share of the PF amount so received by my wife ?

Nominee is mere trustee, nominee does not mean inheritance or legal heir. If the nephew would qualify as a legal heir he could. Has your wife's brother left a Will?
