The brother and sister are excluded from inheritance by the male lineal descendant, however far removed (son, grandson, great-grandson), whether they are full siblings, paternal siblings, or maternal siblings. Scholars have unanimously agreed that siblings do not inherit if there is a son or a grandson. Therefore, if the deceased has a grandson, his brother and sister do not inherit.
