No , until and unless, the property is on her husband (late) name. First, as a legal heir the widow's name has to be entered in record then only she can go as per her wish.

Inform details the no.of legal heirs and successor of the said husband since deceased. If his wife and daughter are only legal heirs then his wife's share is 50% of the property and his daughter's share is 50%,so she can gift her 50% share according to Hindu Succession.

If the property is self acquired property of the husband and she dies leaving only the widow and the daughter then the mother can gift her share in the property to the daughter.
The name in the Municipality record does not make any difference.
If there is more sons and daughters then also mother can transfer but only her share in the property and that of other co sharers.

If she and her daughter are the only legal heirs, she can just give relinquishment deed in the favor of her daughter.
The property would then directly be transferred to the name of her daughter.
However, if there are more heirs, then it is a difficult issue.

Yes i agree with Kapoorji! this is simple way rather than gifting it out. If there are more shares of property then she can relinquish her share in the name of daughter

But Mr.Kapoor, mother should have name in records.
