Does the surviving widow is entitled to make a will of property left by her husband after his death?

First she should get legal heir certificate and get the property mutated in her name. Thereafter she can make a WILL.
If there are more than one legal heirs of the deceased person, then the Widow will get only her share and she can make a WILL only in respect of her share.

She can make a will of her share only, she cannot make entire property of the deceased husband, because other legal heirs of the deceased are also entittle for the equal share.

If only widow is survived as legal heir then she is within her legal right to make will thereto as per her free will and whims.

There should be no impediment to the making of a WILL of the said property by surviving widow - ofcourse, limited only to her share of the property.
