How is the inheritance divided between: one daughter, one son's daughter, and one son's son's daughter?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the daughter receives one-half as a prescribed share, and the son's daughter receives one-sixth as a complement to the two-thirds. The son's son's daughter receives nothing, as the daughters above her have completed the two-thirds. The remainder is returned to the daughter and the son's daughter. Thus, the estate is divided into four shares: three for the daughter and one share for the son's daughter, by way of prescribed share and return.
We emphasize the seriousness of matters concerning inheritances and the obligation to refer them to courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
