What are the shares of the mother, the father, five brothers and five daughters in the inheritance of a man who died?
If a person dies and leaves behind a father, a mother, five daughters, and five brothers, and no one else, then the father receives one-sixth, and the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of offspring. The five daughters receive two-thirds. The brothers receive nothing as they are completely excluded by the father. The inheritance is divided into 30 shares: the father receives 5 shares, the mother receives 5 shares, and each daughter receives 4 shares. It should be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and require referral to courts for precise investigation, as there might be an heir, bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
