How is the inheritance to be divided among the deceased's heirs, namely: a husband, a daughter, two full brothers, two full sisters, and five sons of a full brother, noting that there is no news of the brothers and sisters?

The deceased's husband receives one-fourth if she has children. The daughter receives one-half if she is the sole daughter. The remainder is to be divided among the brothers and sisters, with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares. The sons of brothers do not inherit when a full brother is present, and the sons of sisters are not heirs at all. The matter must be referred to the Court to ascertain the heirs and prove their number and relationship to the deceased before distributing the inheritance, as matters of inheritance are critical and complex and require precise investigation.
