What is the share of each heir from the mentioned inheritance, with a mandatory bequest for the granddaughter whose father died before his father, within the limit of one-third?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the brothers and sisters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares, if they are full siblings or paternal siblings. If some of them are full siblings, the inheritance goes to the full sibling to the exclusion of others. The deceased's bequest to his granddaughter, whose father passed away before him, is enforceable within the limit of one-third, as she is not an heir. It is advisable to consult the courts regarding the division of inheritances due to their complexity.
