If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, a daughter, two full brothers, two full sisters, and one maternal sister, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughter receives one-half as she is the sole daughter. The remainder goes to the two full brothers and two full sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The maternal sister is excluded due to the presence of the daughter. The inheritance is divided into sixteen shares.
