Question
What should be done with the perishable food of the deceased? Since this too is part of the estate, how should it be distributed among the heirs?
Answer
Every heir should take his/ her share of the perishable foods immediately before the foods perish. An heir may not eat more than his/her share without the permission of the other heirs. A simple way is for one or more heirs to buy the perishables. Then they may take all or give to whomever they wish.
