What is the ruling on a woman's golden jewelry after her death, and is it permissible to donate all of it to a charitable project?

It was previously mentioned that zakat on worn jewelry is not obligatory, according to the more preponderant opinion. However, it is better to pay the overdue zakat and then divide the remaining amount among the adult, mature heirs. As for donating all the money to a charitable project, it is a good deed, provided the aforementioned conditions are met.
