Secondly, his second marriage was with a divoced women who also had a daughter. Does she has any right to above distribution?
Answer:
1) Funeral expenses (not including any extravagances)
2) Debts (if any) including the legal costs
3) Bequests (if any) made to non-heirs. This is not to exceed one third of the estate after the abovementioned two things have been settled.
Once the above have been taken care of, the remaining estate of the deceased will be divided into 72 equal shares and distributed as follow:
– 9 shares will be given to the wife
– 14 shares will be given to each of the three sons
– 7 shares will be given to each of the three daughters
The deceased man’s stepdaughter will not inherit from him.
