Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A father stated before his death that his son A should inherit no part of his house.
A. As soon as a person dies his estate falls automatically to his heirs, except whatever he has given away before his death. Therefore, the father's words are of no avail, and A receives his share of his father's estate.
