How are estate profits divided if only some or one of the heirs invested either time or money in improving it?  What are the factors that affect the law?  What about doctor bills for one of the heirs – are they paid for from the sick person’s share or from everyone’s?  Reciprocal marriage gifts (which were common in those days and could be demanded in a court) – how are they divided?  On what do those laws depend?  Three cases are brought in which either no kinyan was done but an exception was made and it is considered as if a kinyan was done or where a document was written and yet we don’t do what it says int he document.   These are called “halachot without a reason.”
