The father is still living. Does a daughter-in-law have any legal right to the portion of the estate inheritance that a now deceased son would have received upon the death of the father?

Generally, no. If the son predeceases his father and then his father dies, the heirs that are next in the line of descent of the father would be the grandchildren. However, the still-living father should have a will drafted so his property is distributed as he wants it to be.
