Our deceased father left a box of gold coins.

Question

Our deceased father left a box of gold coins. The number of coins is known and stated on the box. If the heirs agree to leave their respective shares in the box without opening box and to keep it in a bank, will this be permissible?

Answer

The items must be physically handed to the heirs. Thereafter they can decide what to do further. The box must be opened and the contents distributed to the heirs.
