The answer

If the donor makes his charitable contributions contingent upon his death, then it is a will that is to be executed within the limits of one-third of the estate. Any amount exceeding this is dependent on the heirs' permission. The one-third is determined by inventorying the estate and knowing what is present and what is absent, as this affects the execution of the will. If it is difficult to ascertain the details, the matter is referred to the judiciary.

However, if the owner of the wealth commanded that the charity be given out immediately, and then died before all or part of it was disbursed, then whatever remains of it is to be returned to the estate.
