There is a property that is in the name of a widow's late husband. Now we want to transfer it in the widow's name. What is the procedure we should follow?

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 consequential applications to the society/revenue authority etc., have to be made to bring the aforesaid facts on record. In some case, Letters of Administration would also be required from a Court of competent jurisdiction. Further, 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.
