Question
An infant was given in the custody of a woman who also has her own baby. Soon the woman died. No one is able to identify which of the two infants is her child. Now, which one of the two inherits from her estate?
Answer
None of the two infants inherits in her estate nor will they inherit in her husband's estate. As long as there is no certitude regarding the identity, there will be no inheritance for any one of the two.
