Answer
At the outset, it must be pointed out that the heirs of an Estate may only be determined upon one's demise.
According to the Islamic Law of Succession and Inheritance, distribution of an Estate will only commence after funeral expenses, debts (including legal costs) and bequests (if any) made to non-heirs - which will not exceed one-third (1/3) of the Estate after debts and funeral expenses - have been settled. Thereafter, all assets form part of the Nett Estate and will have to be distributed according to the Islamic Law of Succession and Inheritance.
The nett Estate will be divided into seven hundred and twenty (720) equal shares and distributed as follows: Each wife receives : 30 shares
Each daughter receives : 13 shares
Each son receives : 26 shares
Father receives : 120 shares
Mother receives : 120 shares
