What is the share of each heir from the estate of the deceased paternal aunt, who left a sum of money, knowing that her heirs are: four full brothers, three full sisters, and a mother, all of whom are alive?

If the deceased has no heir other than her mother and her siblings, then the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the siblings, males and females, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, if they are full siblings or paternal siblings. However, if they are of different degrees of kinship, the ruling changes and requires detailed explanation. Furthermore, matters of inheritance should be referred to the courts, as there are possibilities of other heirs, or wills, or debts, or rights that take precedence over the right of the heirs.
