The answer

The properties registered by the father in the names of his adult children to evade the law still belong to him and are treated like his other properties. They become part of his estate upon his death. The estate is distributed according to Islamic law: the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of an heir, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave." The mother receives one-sixth also due to the existence of an heir, as Allah Almighty says: "And for his parents, each of them is to have a sixth of what he leaves if he has a child." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females."
