What the son spent and then got back from health coverage is considered his property, and his permission must be sought before disposing of it. The returned money was a trust with the wife, and she overstepped by disposing of it, thus guaranteeing its value. If she is in financial difficulty now, it remains a debt upon her. The brother should forgive her, especially given his financial ease and her difficulty.
