Uncle . Son . Daughter . Inheritance

My uncle, who has a son and a daughter, has passed away without making a will. Who does the inheritance go to in this situation?

Two thirds of what he left goes to the son, and one third goes to the daughter. This is if he left only one son and one daughter only with out wife. If he left a wife, she gets one eighth, then the remaining should be made in three equal shares, two shares for the son and one share for the daughter.

Wassalam.
