The Bequest Beyond One-Third

Question
I am a mother of orphans, and among them are three adults. I have saved money to buy a house and secure my children. I told my sister that if I die, she should take this money and invest it in a project that generates income for my children. If I die, will it become an inheritance for my children, and their aunt has no claim to it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The money after your death becomes an inheritance for your children, and no one has the right to dispose of it; because they are adults, thus they have the right to manage it, and God knows best.
