The ruling on distributing an estate before death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, my father distributed his estate before his death and forced my brothers to relinquish their shares by taking a power of attorney from them for that purpose. Now, do we sin, and are we required to return their shares because they were not willing and were dutiful to their father?

Answer:
Yes, this is a bequest that is not permissible to execute. If you correct this and give the owners of the rights their rights, you have cleared your father’s liability and achieved dutifulness toward him. Yes.
