Q: A deceased leaves behind: * wife (1) * daughter (1) * son (1)

No will has been made by deceased. Only a house is left which the inheritors have agreed on selling. After the house is sold how will the amount be distributed accordingly?

A:

After paying burial expenses, fulfilling of any debts and discharging bequests made up to one-third of the estate, the estate of the deceased will be divided into 24 equal shares and distributed as follows:

Wife will receive 3 shares

Son will receive 14 shares

Daughter will receive 7 shares

NB: The above Shar'ee distribution of inheritance is based on the information provided regarding the total number of heirs of the deceased present.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
