Does the grandfather inherit from his deceased grandson if the primary inheritance of the father has not yet been distributed?
The grandfather inherits one-sixth as a fixed share from his grandson’s son if the father is not alive. If the estate of the deceased's father has not yet been divided, the matter is considered one of "Munāsakhāt" (successive inheritances). The first wealth is divided among the heirs, and the grandfather inherits one-sixth of what the son inherited from his father. The grandfather also inherits one-sixth of the wealth of his son, who passed away earlier.
We emphasize that matters of inheritance are serious and complex and cannot be resolved solely by a . Rather, they must be referred to courts for investigation, as there might be other heirs, bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
