the Share of the Inheritance of Paternal and Maternal Uncles and Aunt
Issue No.2394- The share of the inheritance of paternal and maternal uncles and aunts (provided that they are all of the same father and mother, as they are often so) can be mentioned briefly as follows:One paternal uncle or aunt [since he/she is the only heir] inherits the entire property. And if the heirs are several paternal uncles or aunts, they inherit the entire estate equally, and if there are both paternal uncles and paternal aunts, the paternal uncles get twice as much as paternal aunts. In case the heir is one maternal uncle or aunt, he/she inherits the entire property. If the heirs are several maternal uncles or aunts, or both, the property will be divided equally. However, if the heirs are paternal uncles and aunts together with maternal uncles and aunts, the paternal uncles and aunts take two shares, and the maternal uncles and aunts take one share. Every paternal uncle gets double the share of every aunt, but the shares of maternal uncles and maternal aunts are equal.
