If I die intestate, will my wife get all assets?
I have a wife, two minor kids, and one married sister. If I die intestate, will my wife get 100% of my assets (all self-acquired)? My mother is no longer alive. Can my sister, who is a Class 2 heir, claim my mother’s share (the share she would have received if alive)?

If you die intestate, your wife will inherit your self-acquired assets. Since you have no will, your wife will receive 100% of the assets. Regarding your sister, she cannot claim your mother's share if she is not an heir, as your wife is the primary heir under Indian law. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
