Inheriting from a kaafir

Q: I would like to know if I am able to inherit from my mom who is a kafira? I want to know if I can travel overseas by myself to see here (since my husband can't accompany me and my son is not of age) and sort out what she is going to give me Insha Allah, such as an apartment and some other items about which I have no knowledge? What do about the money in the bank account that she opened in my name. Can I take that money including the accumulated interest?

Inheritance

Q: I was adopted by my mother's sister. I know I cannot inherit in my adoptive fathers estate. He gave me a sum of money whilst alive. He also gave me (by word of mouth) with my mother and husband as witnesses, his house. This was years before his death, and he subsequently did not say anything to the contrary. The house is big, and on several occasions when maintaining it became a bit much for him, he suggested we sell it. We did not, nor did I want the house legally in my name, in the event of me pre- deceasing him, (it might leave my adoptive mother without a home) hence we did not sell. My father has now passed on. He has left another property which is in the process of being sold. This was a property he inherited from his brother and sister. He has also left a car worth about (R12000) money in a oasis fund (R 70 000) and 25000 in the bank. My mother was an equal partner in his business from which both the 25 000 and the 70 000 have accrued. I am the executor of his will which states everything goes to my mother. We want to ensure that we are not going to cause him any punishment and want to give what's due to his nieces and nephews. He has nephews and nieces from his brothers and sisters sides of the family. How do we ensure the correct Shar'ee execution of his estate?

Asking for one's due

Q: I am boy who is 18 years of age. My father passed away 16 years ago. I have been living with my maternal grandparents ever since. Do
I have a right to my fathers estate knowing that my paternal grandfather has full power over and he has cut off all ties with me ever since? What do I do? Do I confront him and ask him for what is mine or I turn a blind eye towards it?
