What is the share of each heir from the estate of a man who passed away and left behind two wives, 11 sons, and 8 daughters?
The estate of the deceased, who left behind two wives and 19 children (11 sons and 8 daughters), and no other heirs, is to be divided as follows: The two wives receive one-eighth of the inheritance, equally divided between them, due to the presence of children. The remainder is to be divided among his sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The questioner is advised that inheritance matters are serious and complex, and a mere is insufficient. Instead, the matter must be referred to courts for investigation and verification of the existence of other heirs, wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
