The Widow is free to deal with the self- acquired portion of the property i.e. to gift or create an WILL covering the said property to the children from the person whom she has not legally married .
As regards the property she has purchased in the name of her four sons in the capacity of a guardian ,since by now the sons have reached adulthood , the guardian has no longer any right to deal with the said property.

If the properties are in name of widow she is exclusive owner having full liberty to deal as she wants.
