Does the deceased grandmother have a share in the estate of her deceased daughter (jewelry and furniture) if the grandmother died four years after her daughter, knowing that the mother sold her engagement jewelry to buy furniture for the house and that her father wrote half of the house to her as a usufruct right?
The grandmother inherits one-sixth of her daughter's estate due to the existence of a lineal descendant of the daughter, based on the Almighty's saying: (And for his parents, each of them the sixth of what he left if he had a child). What the mother gifted or sold during her lifetime is not included in the estate. As for what the husband gifted to her after his lifetime, it is a will that becomes void and canceled if the mother dies before the father, and a will is not permissible for an heir.
