What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if a woman dies and leaves behind a husband, four sons, four daughters, and a grandmother (mother's mother)?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, and the deceased left no other heirs, then the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, the grandmother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 144 shares: the husband receives 36 shares, the grandmother 24 shares, each son 14 shares, and each daughter 7 shares. The matter of inheritances must be submitted to the courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
