If they “retire”, that would mean they are giving up their religious habit and die without the religious habit. They will probably lose the “religious” status.

That’s just my two cents, from what I heard.

They’re not even supposed to have their own property, actually. It’s a part of their vow of poverty. Everything is supposed to be community property.
