Is my signature on a contract for the transfer of apartment ownership in the name of the heirs—after the death of my brother who sold it to me—considered a relinquishment of my right to the apartment, especially since my intention was to register it temporarily in the name of the heirs to prove ownership in the cooperatives, with the commitment to pay the amounts they expended?

Issues of disputes and conflicts are presented to courts or verbally to scholars so that they may hear from both parties and ascertain the arguments.
