In a nutshell, if an individual has got property from his father as a gift, tomorrow his children can’t claim their share calling it ancestral property.

Can I claim my father’s property through my brother’s wife?
Not your brother’s wife, but his son surely has a right and can claim anytime the share in this particular property (House) but only after the lifetime of your father. Therefore, to safeguard the claim, you should ask your father to transfer the entire property to you through a registered Will.
Also, there is no chance for a son in receiving a share in the self-acquired property if his father has bequeathed his property to someone else, by means of a will, or a gift deed. He may be allowed to use the property on permission, but his parents are not under any obligation to allow him to live there.
