A convert Muslim has no Muslim heirs. Can he make a wasiyyat for his non-Muslim wife and children?

Answer

There are no inheritance ties between Muslims and non-Muslims regardless of how close the relationship may be. Non-Muslims do not inherit in the estate of a Muslim nor do Muslims inherit in the estate of non-Muslims. This man's non-Muslim wife and non-Muslim children do not inherit in his estate. He may make a bequest for them which should not exceed one third the value of his estate. The balance of his estate should be bequeathed to Islamic Charity.
