If his sin is living then daughter in law doesn't have any share in the property. 

Only if son dies intestate after his father only his wife inherits from him.

Therefore son can transfer his share to his mother or anyone he so chooses.

The property owner is reported to have died intestate.

In such a situation the property left behind by the decesed owner shall devolve equally on all his own legal heirs.

As per you, the legal heirs are his widow and son.

Therefore the property shall be equally shared by they two only.

The son's son or the grandson of the deceased has no rights over the property at least not during the lifetime of his father.

The son if wants to transfer his share in the property to his mother he can very well do so without taking anyone's consent or permission.

He can relinquish his rights in the property by executing a registered release deed in favor of his mother.

His wife has no rights to object this in any manner or even as per law.

1. If it were to be a self acquired property of a male Hindu, who dies intestate, then the entitlement to the share in the property devolves equally to his mother ( if alive ), widowed wife and children. In the instant case to widow and son ( assuming that daughter-in-law is this son's wife ).

2. Daughter-in-law, on behalf of her son, cannot claim right over the property when her husband is alive. However if it were to be ancestral property, then only grand son will have right since birth.

3.  Wife cannot object for transfer of property of her father-in-law's, who died intestate, self acquired property to her mother-in-law.

4.  If son decides to transfer his share in the property to his mother, wife cannot object it legally.

Daughter in law cannot claim the share untill the son is alive. 

Son can transfer his share to his mother. The wife cannot object.

Only the grandson can object to the same if his share is also transferred.
