Question
A divorced woman has 2 sons, 2 daughters and 3 brothers. Besides these, she has no other relatives. When she dies, how will her estate be distributed?
Answer
A person's heirs can be established only when he/she dies. No one knows who will die first. Assuming that when she dies, she is survived by only her 2 sons, 2 daughters and 3 brothers, then her estate will be divided into six shares. Each son receives two shares and each daughter one share. In this case her brothers do not inherit.
