The answer

The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, his two daughters receive two-thirds, and each of his parents receives one-sixth. The inheritance is divided into 27 shares: the wife receives 3 shares, the father 4 shares, the mother 4 shares, and each daughter 8 shares. In matters of inheritance, a mere is not sufficient; rather, the case must be submitted to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other heirs.
