How is the inheritance divided among the wife, the two full sisters, the two paternal first cousins, and the paternal uncle of the father?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-fourth as her prescribed share, due to the absence of children. The two full sisters receive two-thirds as their prescribed share. The remainder goes to the two paternal cousins as residuary heirs. The deceased's paternal uncle receives nothing, as he is excluded. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: the wife receives six, the two full sisters sixteen (eight for each), and the two paternal cousins receive the remainder (one share for each). The questioner is advised to refer inheritance matters to the courts to verify the existence of any other heirs, wills, or debts.
