Dear Sir / Madam,

Since all the houses are in the name of your mother-in-law she has the sole right to transfer / dispose of the houses in the manner she best deems fit. As the son-in-law you do not have any say in the matter, let alone a share of the property.

Your wife has a say and you should pursuade your wife to convince your mother-in-law that she should equally distribute the houses so that all get a fair share. It can only be done through the persuasion route and no legal right of any nature whatsoever arises to you. No suit can be filed in the absence of any legal right.

You have no share or right in your MIL property and remember that the source of funds to purchase property is not important but the ownership.
