Inheritance Question

Q: Please could you advice in the following scenario, what percentage would be the entitlement for each:

Husband passed away: Leaving behind £60,000.00

Inheritors:

• 2 Daughters
• Wife
• Mother
• Father

A: The estate will be divided into 27 equal shares and distributed as follows:

• The 2 daughters will receive 8 shares each
• The wife will receive 3 shares
• The mother will receive 4 shares
• The father will receive 4 shares

Hence the distribution of the monetary figures will be as follows:

• The 2 daughters will receive £17 777,77 (each)
• The wife will receive £6 666,66
• The mother will receive £8 888,88
• The father will receive £8 888,88
• The remaining 4 pence will be given in charity with the consent of all the heirs.
