Answer

If your father predeceases you and he does not have both or one of his parents and his wife, then his estate will be divided into 20 equal shares and distributed as follows: Daughter receives 10 shares; Each brother receives 2 shares; and each Sister receives 1 share.

If your father is survived by his parents or his wife, then the ruling will be different.
