Saving money to buy a house for the children after death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person saves money to buy a house or something else that his children will benefit from after his death, does he fall under the category of those who leave their wealth behind and will be held accountable for this action?

Answer:
If he pays its zakah, he will not be held accountable for it. Yes.
