If the mother dies after the father, she has a share of his estate, including the house. Her right is not forfeited by her death, and her heirs inherit it. If she leaves two sons, a daughter, a mother, and a brother, her mother gets one-sixth, and the remainder is divided among the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The brother does not inherit as he is excluded by the male children. The matter of estates must be referred to the courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
