If a man dies without leaving a will, his property is split equally among his widow, children, and mother, according to the Hindu Succession Act, which governs Hindu succession and inheritance in India. Due to the lack of a child, the property will be split evenly between the mother and the wife.

It has not been specified whether that mother has any other children or not and whether her husband is alive or not because as the mother has inherited undivided half share therein which if not transferred by her legally in favour of that wife,then mother's other legal heirs will also come into the inheritance after the mother's death.
