Distributing an estate is an extremely delicate issue. We would appreciate if you could provide us with a detail explanation regarding the heirs. Was your grandmother alive at the time of your grandfather’s death? Did the daughters of your grandfather have any children or husbands at the time of their death? Please elaborate and provide a detail explanation.
And Allah knows best
