The answer

The house, like all other assets of the deceased, is inherited by the heirs as part of the estate. The inheritance is divided into 104 shares: the wife receives 13 shares, each daughter receives seven shares, and each son receives fourteen shares (a son's share is equal to two daughters' shares). After dividing the house and appraising the estate, the heirs can sell their shares to each other, or sell the entire house and distribute the proceeds, or divide the house and assign specific shares to each heir with the possibility of leasing out the shares, or agree on another method for distributing the rights.
