What is the share of each individual heir of a deceased man who left behind a wife, four sons, and three daughters, knowing that there are properties (land, apartments) in the building of which the father and some of the sons participated, or in the payment of their costs and the father's treatment expenses?
Cases involving shared rights, such as inheritances and jurisdiction claims, must be referred to the courts. In the inheritance mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a child. The remainder of the inheritance is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. What is distributed is the property of the deceased; therefore, anything specific to some heirs is not divided. If the sons donated what they built, it becomes part of the inheritance; otherwise, they are partners in the building. The eldest son has the right to reclaim what he spent on his father's treatment, if he did not donate it, after taking an oath.
