Mishnah Bekhorot 8:9: The firstborn takes a double portion in the property of his father but does not take a double portion of the mother's property. And he does not take a double portion in [its increase in] value [after his death], nor in what is fit [to come into possession of his estate, but rather] in what he holds now. Neither a woman [collect] for her ketubah nor daughters for their sustenance, and nor the yavam, none of them take a double portion in [its increase in] value [after his death], nor in what is fit [to come into possession of his estate, but rather] in what he holds now.

Rabbi Yochanan ben Beroka says: one who inherits his wife should return it to her family and he may deduct [her burial expenses] from the money.
