Distribution of Property to Children

Question
A woman whose husband has passed away wants to write all her property for her male and female children during her lifetime, and she has an elderly mother. Is she sinful if she does not write anything for her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She has the right to manage her property during her lifetime as she sees fit, and she is not obligated to divide her wealth among her children according to the legal division even if she does not give to the mother, and God knows best.
