Endowment: Dividing Endowment Proceeds Among Offspring When No Method Is Specified

English:

Question #2065:

In the matter of lack of evidence as to how to go about dividing the proceeds of endowment between the beneficiaries, among the offspring, which procedure should come into play here? Would the law of inheritance apply or the division be equal?

Answer #2065:

If it is not known that the endowment is designated equally between all of the beneficiaries or in accordance with their share of inheritance, it is ruled as an endowment for them equally and the proceeds are given to male and female beneficiaries of each category equally.
