No, Epistaxis or nasal bleeding has many causes.One of them is hereditary causes that run in families.First of all your brother in law should be properly examined and investigated for epistaxis to know the reason behind it.If your husband has no history of nasal bleeding then there is no point for unnecessary testing.
