The answer

If the pension is among the rights of the deceased, then it is added to his estate and distributed among the heirs according to their prescribed shares. The wife takes one-eighth, the mother and the father each take one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. However, if the pension is a grant from the employer, then it is disbursed according to what that entity has decided; otherwise, it is divided like an inheritance.
