The question

What is the meaning of the phrase "to So-and-so, and So-and-so, and So-and-so, one-third of my wealth, just as my children inherit, with the male receiving the share of two females" in the grandfather's will? And does allocating one-third to them mean they are entitled to it, or do they share their portion with the paternal uncles?

The answer

The intention of your grandfather's will is that you get one-third, to be divided among you "for the male, a share equal to that of two females." His statement "like so" refers to the method of division, as evidenced by his subsequent statement, "for the male, a share equal to that of two females." The will is valid because it does not exceed one-third, and you are not among the heirs.
