How is the inheritance distributed among a father, a mother, one daughter, three full brothers, three full sisters, and a full paternal uncle?
If the deceased's heirs are limited to his father, mother, and daughter, then the daughter takes half due to being the sole daughter. The mother takes one-sixth due to the presence of the daughter and a number of siblings. What remains after the mother's and daughter's shares is for the father, both as a prescribed share and by residuary right. He takes one-sixth due to the presence of the descendant (the daughter) and takes the remainder by residuary right. The siblings and the paternal uncle receive nothing, as they are completely excluded by the father. The common denominator for the inheritance is six: one share for the mother, three shares for the daughter, and two shares for the father.
