Selling The Household Contents In An Estate And Giving The Proceeds To One Heir
Question
Can the brother of the Marhoom sell the household contents of the estate and give the proceeds to the wife only?
Answer
It is incorrect for the Marhoom’s brother to sell any of the Marhoom’s belongings and give the money to the Marhoom’s wife. All monies accrued from selling the Marhoom’s belonging will have to be distributed amongst all the heirs.
