Question

I inherited a sum of money from my father, and at his request, I am giving an equal share to my sister. Should I first tithe from the entire amount and then give her her share, or can I deduct her share, give it to her, and then tithe from the remaining amount?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

There is no need to tithe from the entire amount, only from the amount that remains with you after you give to your sister.
