Se’if 1א׳
הַכּוֹתֵב כָּל נְכָסָיו לְאִשְׁתּוֹ, בֵּין בָּרִיא בֵּין שְׁכִיב מְרַע, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁקָּנוּ מִיָּדוֹ, לֹא עֲשָׂאָהּ אֶלָּא אַפּוֹטְרוֹפָּא עַל יוֹרְשָׁיו, בֵּין שֶׁהָיוּ יוֹרְשָׁיו בָּנָיו מִמֶּנָּה אוֹ מֵאִשָּׁה אַחֶרֶת אוֹ אֶחָיו אוֹ שְׁאָר יוֹרְשִׁין. וְאִם שִׁיֵּר כָּל שֶׁהוּא, בֵּין קַרְקַע בֵּין מִטַּלְטְלִין, קָנְתָה כָּל מַה שֶּׁכָּתַב לָהּ. בֵּין כָּךְ וּבֵין כָּךְ לֹא אִבְּדָה כְּתֻבָּתָהּ (טוּר):
The one who writes all of his possessions to his wife, either healthy or sickly, even by word of mouth that they acquired from his hand, he only made her guardian of his inheritors, either because they were the inheritors of his sons from him or from a different wife or his brother or the rest of his inheritors. And if any of it remains, either land or merchandise, she acquires all that he wrote to her. Either this or that she does not lose her ketuba.
Se’if 2ב׳
בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בִּנְשׂוּאָה. אֲבָל אִם כָּתַב כָּל נְכָסָיו לְאִשְׁתּוֹ אֲרוּסָה, אוֹ לִגְרוּשָׁה, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא שִׁיֵּר כְּלוּם, מַתְּנָתוֹ קַיֶּמֶת. וְאִבְּדָה כְּתֻבָּתָהּ, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן שֶׁשִּׁיֵּר מִקְצָת נְכָסִים (גַּם זֶה טוּר):
In regards to what are we speaking: regarding a married woman. But if he wrote all of his possessions to his betrothed wife, or to his divorced wife, even though that he didn't leave anything, his gift is fulfilled. And she loses her ketuba, except if a small amount of possessions remain.
Se’if 3ג׳
כָּל אִשָּׁה שֶׁקָּנְתָה כָּל נִכְסֵי בַּעֲלָהּ בְּמַתָּנָה גְּמוּרָה, אִבְּדָה כְּתֻבָּתָהּ וְתִקָּרַע. לְפִיכָךְ, אִם יָצָא שְׁטָר חוֹב עָלָיו מֻקְדָּם לְמַתָּנָה זוֹ, וְהָלְכוּ כָּל הַנְּכָסִים בִּפְרִיעַת הַחוֹב, תִּשָּׁאֵר הִיא בְּלֹא כְּלוּם וְלֹא תִקַּח בִּכְתֻבָּתָהּ שֶׁקָּדְמָה לַחוֹב, שֶׁאֻמְדַּן דַּעַת הוּא שֶׁבַּהֲנָאָה שֶׁבָּאָה לָהּ בִּשְׁמוּעָה זוֹ שֶּׁכָּתַב לָהּ כָּל נְכָסָיו אִבְּדָה כָּל זְכוּת שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהּ בִּנְכָסָיו מִצַּד כְּתֻבָּתָהּ בֵּין מֵאוֹתָם שֶׁהָיוּ לוֹ בֵּין מֵאוֹתָם שֶׁמָּכַר אוֹ נָתַן קֹדֶם לָכֵן. אֲבָל אִם אַחַר כָּךְ זָכָה בִּנְּכָסִים, גּוֹבָה כְּתֻבָּתָהּ מֵהֶם:
Any woman who acquired all her husbands assets through a genuine gift has lost [her right to collect] her Ketubah, and it must be torn up. Therefore, if a contractual debt existed against him from a time preceding this gift, ad all his assets were needed to pay off the debt, she is left with nothing and she may not collect her Ketubah before the debt, because we evaluate that with the pleasure that she received from the knowledge that [her husband] had written off all his assets to her she lost any claim she had to his assets from the Ketubah - both assets that he possessed at that moment and those that were sold or given away before then. If, however, he took hold of assets after [he gave her this gift], she may collect her Ketubah from them.
