Question
A man is survived by a wife, a daughter, a sister and an uncle (father's brother). How should his estate be distributed?
Answer
The wife's share is one eighth; the daughter's share is one half, and the balance is for the sister. The uncle does not inherit in this case. The estate should be divided into 24 shares - 3 shares for the wife; 12 for the daughter and 9 for the sister.
