Question
The only relatives of the deceased are his two daughters, two brothers, two sisters and two male cousins. How is the distribution to be done?
Answer
The heirs are the two daughters, two brothers and two sisters. The 2 daughters jointly receive two thirds of the estate to be shared equally. The remaining third should be divided into six shares. Each brother receives two shares, and each sister one share. The cousins do not inherit in this case.
