How are 276 olive trees (distributed among six plots of varying sizes) divided among the heirs, who are: five brothers (one of whom is deceased and has a single daughter, another is ill and unable to care for himself, and another has renounced his right in exchange for a commercial shop) and four sisters (one of whom is mentally ill, and another has filed a complaint against her brothers for their unwillingness to divide the inheritance)? What is the share of the orphaned daughter from the olive trees? Does the maternal uncle who took the commercial shop return to the inheritance if his ill sister or brother passes away? How are disputes among heirs regarding the sale of olive trees handled?
If your maternal uncle passed away after your grandfather, his inheritance goes to his wife, his daughter, and his siblings, with the male receiving the share of two females. Your mother and the uncle who took the shop are included among the siblings. However, if he passed away before your grandfather, neither he nor his daughter inherits anything.
If your maternal aunt or sick maternal uncle passes away, their estate is divided among their brothers and sisters, including the uncle who took the shop.
An heir is not permitted to refuse division if another heir requests it, and they are legally compelled to divide the estate. The division can be by mutual agreement, by valuation with compensation, or by selling the asset and dividing the price, especially if there is a mentally incapacitated heir, or if the heirs do not agree, or if the division would cause harm to the property.
Anyone seeking their right may refer the matter to the judiciary without hesitation.
