PEH601
Hirsch Summary
Someone left behind a widow and both adult and minor sons at his death. His estate consisted only of movable property. A will could not be found. After five years, when all sons were adults, they wanted to divide the inheritance. However, their mother suddenly presented a will made before a non-Jewish notary 7 years before her husband's death, which appointed her as the sole heir. Since in this city the Jews had civil jurisdiction over each other according to Jewish law, the case was brought before the Ez Chajim. Moses ben David Rodriguez Lopez decides that the will is invalid, and the sons are the heirs.
