What are my legal rights regarding my deceased wife's estate, given that I paid her debts from my own money, and how should household movable property be valued, especially items that belonged to her mother?

A husband's pledge to pay his wife's debts from his own money is a promise that is praiseworthy to fulfill but not obligatory. However, if the debt is paid from the estate, then it is obligatory to pay the debt from it before its distribution. If he pays it from his own money with the intention of claiming it back from the estate, he is entitled to do so. The husband inherits half of his wife's estate if she has no children, and one-fourth if she has children, after the fulfillment of bequests and debts. What the husband purchased for his wife and gifted to her is considered part of her estate. As for items belonging to the wife's mother, if she genuinely transferred ownership to her daughter, they are part of the estate; otherwise, they belong to the mother's heirs. Movable assets are valued at market price, and their proceeds are divided among the heirs according to their prescribed shares. Finally, it is advisable to consult religious courts regarding matters of inheritance, as they are complex and require thorough investigation.
