Yes his wife become owner of his property if mother of that person is also dead and if mother is alive then both will have 1/2 share in property.

The wife being the legal heir of her deceased husband, is entitled to succeed to her deceased husband's estates as a successor in interest.

If his mother is alive then she will be a cosharer to the property.

After death of husband his property rights will devolve to his legal heirs. Wife and if mother is alive then both will be successor of his property.
