If a person dies, and property is passed on to someone after death. What happens? Part 1.
Now, you might take this a “Love & Affection” or “Gift”!
Oh, Stop! It is not so straight forward that it is a Gift by Love and Affection!
Are we assuming there must be gift passed down to the descendants? Is there a will or there is no will to prove that? Now, these are issues under Distribution Act,1958 and for Muslim, it is to follow Syariah. So, this is not the same case as when a person is alive and transfer his property to another person. This is under a different law. Hence, it might be confusing.
