Bava Batra 128 - Decisions of Rabbi Abba

Rabbi Abba sent several rulings to Rav Yosef. The last of them deals with inheritance.

* If a defendant made an extralegal offer, like "Swear that this is your slave and take him," - he cannot retract.
* A third-generation cousin can testify regarding a second-generation cousin.
* One who knew a testimony about a land boundary but became blind cannot testify about it anymore.
* If one says, "My wife shall take a share in my estate like one of my sons," - it is as he says. The husband certainly can give her a gift. However, she only takes a share in his current properties, not in any subsequent acquisitions.
