In your case, wife is already Joint owner in all movable and immovable assets. So after you, your property will be in her name.
But to avoid any complications it is always suggested to make a registered will.

Your wife is already joint owner of land or flat and also bank account.
All your Property will be her name.
Will is not necessary if she is already joint owner.

It is not necessary but a choice when you are executing a will while living. You need to specify in the will the reason for not executing it in her favor. After a person passes if will was not executed before his death, all the legal heirs become entitled for joint ownership.
