Question
The deceased leaves a wife, 1 daughter, 2 brothers, one sister, nephews and nieces. How should his estate be distributed?
Answer
The heirs are the wife, 1 daughter, 2 brothers and 1 sister. The nephews and nieces do not inherit. The wife's share is one eighth (12.5%). The daughter's share is one half (50%). The balance of 37.5% should be divided into 5 shares. From these 5 shares, each brother receives 2 and the sister one share.
