Is it permissible for a married couple to gift the marital home to their minor children, without the mother and siblings inheriting, in order to secure the children's future?
A will made for children regarding the house after death is not valid because they are heirs, and it is a gift contingent upon death. However, gifting the house to them equally during one's lifetime, with them or their guardian taking possession of it, and having witnesses to this, is valid. If possession is not taken before death, the gift becomes void, and the house becomes part of the inheritance.
