Inheritance

Q: My father passed away some years ago. At the time of his passing the house belonged to him. At that time two of my siblings were unmarried and living with my parents. A family member advised to sell the house and distribute the proceeds according to shariah. We did not do this at the time due to my mother and two siblings still living in the house. So to avoid any complications we all agreed to give my mother the house and put it on her name. Was this the correct procedure?

My siblings living in the house looked after and maintained the house up to now. Now my one sibling got married and has moved out and the other is about to be married. He would like to now sell the house and purchase another house in another area. This new house will be on my mothers name but my sibling who is getting married will live with my mother there. Is this the correct procedure or should my fathers house be sold and each person be given their share of the inheritance?

Belongings of a deceased child

Q: My six months old son passed away during his fifth surgery at the operation bed. I donated his medical equipment to the hospital and friends who were doctors to use them. But his clothes, feeders and cot, etc. are kept safe for future use. Do I need to distribute them in wirasat also? Is there wirasat of such children who pass away at an early age?
