Nephews inheriting in the case where there are no living sons or brothers
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.
