Determining Fairness Of Inheritance Distribution
Legator had 2 sons & 6 daughters. 2 daughters died before their father. He had property of 65 units. He had this written in his will “My daughters will inherit 1 unit each in a specific place and rest would be divided into 2 sons. Problem 1: the “specific land” was not his but his sons had its ownership. Problem 2: Will was not accepted by state because according to their interpretation of Islam it is not permissible to create a will. So they divided land as if their was no will. Although daughters decided to only take 3,3,3,2 units each. They also gave 1 unit to family of one deceased daughter (before father).
