Re: home property

yes, it does. she is entitled to her share. You brother was also equally entitled to inherit your father's property and his share devolves upon his wife. Even your other sisters and brothers, who are consenting for transfer in your name, will virtually be giving you a gift. It is not mere "consent" but a "gift" of their share in your favour.

If somebody is not willing to "gift away" her share, how can you usurup that share?

You should understand and respect the legal rights of your brother's wife and not try to deprive her of her share.

Re: home property

Your brother's wife along with the other family members does have a share in the property. you cannot deny her share.
