How is the inheritance divided among a father, three wives, two daughters, a paternal granddaughter, a paternal great-grandson, and a full sister?
If the heirs are the deceased's father, his three wives, his two daughters, a granddaughter (daughter of a son), grandsons (sons of a son's son), and a full sister; then the father receives one-sixth. The wives collectively receive one-eighth, to be divided equally among them. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the granddaughter (daughter of a son) and the grandsons (sons of a son's son), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full sister receives nothing due to the presence of the father and the male lineal descendant. The questioner should be aware that matters of inheritance are serious and complex and must be referred to the courts.
