No one was specifically called responsible. However, if there is a minor among them, then it is not permissible for anyone to interfere in the received portion of the minor. ِّنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى ظُلْمًا إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ نَارًا وَسَيَصْلَو অন্যنَ سَيِيرًا (Surah An-Nisa -10) ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم إلا بالتي هي أحسن حتى يبلغ أشده وأوفوا بالعهد إن العهد كان مسئولا ۞ وأوفوا الكيل إذا كلتم وزنوا بالقسطاس المستقيم ذلك خير وأحسن تأويلا • Do not approach the property of the orphans except for his good advice; And fulfill the promise until the person concerned enters puberty. Surely the promise will be questioned. (Surah Bani Isra'il - 34) And if any claimant wants to take his share, then it is the responsibility of the adult relatives to distribute the wealth. There should be no delay in this. If someone is given the responsibility in the family, he should first know in clear language who will get the share of wealth from the relatives among a wise mufti. Then with all the relatives, if necessary with a village elder to distribute the Shariah prescribed portion among all neatly. The mentality of procrastinating unnecessarily or depriving someone is a heinous and sinful act. There is a strong threat in the hadith in this regard. On the other hand, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I am the heir of the house. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever deprives the heir of the inheritance, Allaah will deprive him of the inheritance. (Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 2603, Sunan Saeed bin Mansur, Hadith No. 265) 7435335635
