If the property is held by the Husband jointly with the wife and if there are no other heirs of the husband except his widow post his death, then the widow alone becomes the sole owner of the property (depending on the religion the husband follows) and only consequential applications to the society/revenue authority etc., have to be made to bring the aforesaid facts on record. However, if there are other heirs, then they would have to transfer their shares in favour of the widow by way of registered document i.e. gift deed/release deed etc.
