The answer

Your aunt's brother's sons inherit the estate by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), while his daughters do not inherit because they are from dhawu al-arham (relatives through the womb/uterine kin). It is commendable to give them something from the estate. Inheritance cases must be referred to the courts to verify all heirs, wills, and debts before distributing the estate.
