For inheritance to be valid, the death of the inheritee and the life of the heir thereafter must be confirmed, along with knowledge of the heir's relation. - The children of paternal aunt no. (3) do not inherit from the grandfather, because their mother died before her father. - The children of paternal aunt no. (3), and the children of paternal uncle no.

Division of the Grandfather's Estate: He died and left behind: a wife, 3 sons, and 5 daughters. - The wife receives one-eighth. - The remainder is divided among the eight children, with the male receiving the share of two females. - The estate is divided into 88 parts: the wife receives 11 parts, the male receives 14 parts, and the female receives 7 parts.
Division of the Grandmother's Estate: She died and left behind: one son (paternal uncle no. 1) and five daughters. - The estate is divided among the living heirs, with the male receiving the share of two females (seven shares): the son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share.
Regarding the Farm: - If the heirs agree not to divide the estate, the farm's income is divided according to the inheritance shares, unless some waive their rights. - Anyone who requests their share has the right to take it, sell it to the other heirs, or sell the farm and divide its price. Procrastination is not permissible.
