Pension, retirement rights and inheritance : what are the rules of pension inheritance ?

السؤال

Dear respected Dr. Monzer Kahf : Assalamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah : I pray and hope that you are in excellent health. I have known you for many years and have benefitted tremendously from your talks at ISNA conventions in Canada and the U.S. I have a couple of questions regarding the wills, I hope you can help me with. 1. I am a retired person and have a defined benefit company pension. After my death, my wife is entitled to 66 2 / 3 percent of my pension. Would this monthly pension for my wife be divided among the children or it would be considered her income, but not an asset. My understanding is that wills apply to only assets not current income. 2. Can the portion of my wealth after my death (25-33 %) that I am entitled to allocate in my will be invested and the income from that investment be spent so that the distribution of money continues for ever rather than spent only once ? Thank you in anticipation. Khalid
