What is the distribution of the inheritance of a man who died leaving behind two daughters, a wife, a mother, a full brother, two paternal half-brothers, and a paternal half-sister, and what if the mother had already passed away?
If a man dies, leaving behind a mother, a wife, two daughters, a full brother, two paternal half-brothers, and a paternal half-sister, and no other heirs, then the mother receives one-sixth, the wife one-eighth, and his two daughters two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full brother. The paternal half-brothers and half-sister receive nothing, as they are excluded by the full brother. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: three for the wife, four for the mother, eight for each daughter, and one share for the full brother. The share of the mother, who passed away after her son, is inherited by her heirs. It is advisable to refer the matter to the court due to the precision of inheritance issues and other rights such as debts.
