ANSWER:

It shouldn’t be halved first, If the papers were on his name, the property would be divided between all his heirs, including his wife, according to Shariah. The law of the land has no superiority over Allah’s law.

According to the law of the land anything bought after marriage is automatically shared ownership regardless who bought it and the name under it. My father bought a house, now that he passed away do the inheritance must be halved first then divided as my mother is still alive eventhough name of ownership is only my father.
