How are the shares of the heirs distributed from the sale of the house in the event of the father's death, followed by the death of his wife (the mother of the siblings)?
If a man dies and leaves behind a wife, five full siblings (three sons and two daughters), and a paternal half-sister, and the house is sold, then the wife receives one-eighth. The remainder is divided among the six children, with the male receiving the share of two females.
If the wife dies after her husband, her share is distributed among her five children (full siblings), with the male receiving the share of two females. If one or both of her parents are alive after her death, the surviving parent receives one-sixth, and the remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females.
