Inheritance of Property Registered in the Wife's Name for Reasons
A husband registered a property in his wife's name for reasons, and the husband passed away. Is this property considered the wife's private inheritance, or do her children have a share in the inheritance?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: This property is the husband's inheritance, and registering it in the wife's name is for safekeeping, not for transferring ownership. It will be part of the estate among all the husband's heirs, including the children and the wife. God knows best.
