Q: My late Dad had left behind an Islamic Will. Through the process my elder brother and I had been appointed as executors of his estate.
Question: Can we (the executors) make a unilateral decision on behalf of the other heirs to ensure a fair and equitable resolution to the issues plaguing the sale of the property.
Context to the question: My dad left one property as part of his estate. Its structure is such that it is impractical to split the property relative to each heirs proportionate share. Once we have determined a value of the property (formal process) can we as the executors unilaterally make payment to the other heirs in proportion to their inheritance (Islamic share)?
Q: My father has passed away few days before and I want to ask you about distribution of inheritance. My father passed away leaving behind:
- One wife
- Three daughters
- Both parents have already passed away
- He had 3 siblings and they all passed away in my father's lifetime
- 1st elder sister who already passed away left behind 1 husband and 2 daughters
- 2nd elder brother who also passed away left behind 1 wife, 1 son and 2 daughters
- 3rd younger brother who left behind 1 wife, 3 daughters and 1 son.
In this case who will inherit and in what ratio? We are confused whether the nephews will also inherit or not. Please clear that.
