How can a wife gift her house to her two minor daughters in a way that guarantees her right to reside in it and prevents her brothers and sisters from sharing in the inheritance?
It is permissible for a father or mother to gift real estate to their children. The gift becomes binding if it occurs during good health and the donee takes possession of it in a legally recognized manner. The gifted property remains under the possession of the donor if the donee is a minor and the donor is their guardian.
As for a residential house, it must be vacated of the donor's furniture, and this must be attested to. The donor should not return to it until a year has passed. The gift is valid with the exception of one room for the donor if harm is feared.
