Yes. A person can devise their sole property by will in most jurisdictions. A husband does not need his wife's consent to leave his antique car to his brother. A wife doesn't need her husband's consent to leave her solely owned mountain cabin to her sister. However, one spouse cannot completely disinherit the other in most states except Louisiana and one spouse cannot leave property owned by survivorship to any third party.
