How is the inheritance to be distributed among the father, paternal uncles, and paternal aunts, and are the two buildings to be sold, in the event that the grandmother passed away and she owns properties and real estate inhabited by some of her children?
If the grandfather passed away leaving two buildings, the inheritance is divided as follows: 1. The wife (grandmother) is entitled to one-eighth of the inheritance due to the existence of a descendant heir. 2. The remainder of the inheritance is divided among the deceased's children (your father, your paternal uncles, and your paternal aunts), with the male receiving the share of two females. 3. If the grandmother passes away before receiving her share, her share is set aside and distributed among her legal heirs. If she has no heirs other than the aforementioned children, her share and assets are combined with the grandfather's inheritance and divided among the heirs. 4. The two buildings are divided among the heirs according to each one's share by experts, with consideration for fairness in location, size, and distinction. The lease contract does not terminate with the death of the lessor but transfers to the heirs. 5. If the heirs dispute, they resort to the Sharia court, which compels the uncooperative party to division. 6. Selling the two buildings is not a condition for division unless the property cannot be divided in such a way that each heir benefits from their share, in which case they are sold and their price is divided.
In summary: 1. Determine the share of each heir according to Sharia. 2. Adjust the division among them with the assistance of experts, and each heir receives their share. 3. Sell the two buildings and each heir receives their share of the price. 4. Keep the two buildings as they are, estimate the rent for the apartments inhabited by some heirs, then add that to the rent of the other building and divide the proceeds among the heirs.
