How is the estate of a woman who died leaving behind a husband, two daughters, a mother, and four sisters divided? And are there any other heirs?
If a woman dies leaving behind a husband, two daughters, a mother, and four sisters, the inheritance is divided as follows: the husband receives one-fourth, the two daughters receive two-thirds, and the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of the daughters. As for the sisters, they inherit nothing.
Since the shares of the heirs exceed the total inheritance (Awl - increase in the common denominator), the inheritance is divided into 13 parts instead of 12. Thus, the husband receives 3 shares, the two daughters receive 8 shares, and the mother receives 2 shares.
It is necessary to refer to the court to confirm the identification of the heirs.
