Kvod haRav When a convert has completed their conversion, and enters the mikva, then he/she is no longer a child of their biological parents. He/she is a child of Abraham and Sarah and inherits the blessing Hashem gave to Abraham. My question: is a convert allowed to inherit the monies and possessions left by a deceased biological parent? What if that parent was an idol worshipper who regularly tithed from their monies to a church? Has that money become treif, contaminated? Is it usable, permitted to the convert, or should it go to a non-converted sibling instead? Can the convert Jew donate from this inherited money to a kosher organization such as BeEzrat Hashem?
