In case wife has received the property through will, probate needs to be issued from court so that the property can be transferred in the name of the wife. If the property has been transferred in the name of the wife then she will have complete right over the property and she have a right to sell that property.

We have to see if the property of the deceased was self-acquired or not. If the wife of the deceased is the valid title holder of the property, then she can sell the property.

However, it is difficult to advice without looking at the documents. Please visit our office for a full consultation.
