Does the deceased's mother receive half of the price of the furniture of an apartment that her husband sold before his death, but did not receive the price of the furniture until after his death, knowing that she was a partner with her husband, on a 50/50 basis, in the building where the apartment is located?

If the father bought the furniture with his own money, then its price is an inheritance to be divided among his heirs. If both parents participated in buying it with common money, then the mother gets half the price and the other half is divided among the heirs. If the situation is unknown: if the apartment sold belonged solely to the father, then the default is that the furniture is his property and its price is distributed among the heirs. If the apartment was jointly owned by both parents, then the default is that the furniture belongs to both of them, so the mother is given half the price unless it is proven that the furniture was bought solely with the father's money.
