If the decedent was married, we have to explain the portion
according to the alive spouse (husband or wife).If the alive spouse is
inheritor with,
- Decedent’s kids: Alive spouse will get ¼, kids will get ¾ and
share equally.
- (No Kids or Grandchild) Decedent’s parents: Alive spouse will
get ½, parents will get ½ and share equally.
- (No Kids or Parent/ Parent’s kids, grandchild) Decedent’s
grandfather/grandmother: Alive spouse will get ¾,
grandfather/grandmother will get ¼ and share equally.
If there is no alive spouse, Kids get 100% of inheritance and share
equally.
For single (unmarried and also has no kids) decedent, legal inheritors
are decedent’s father and mother and they share equally. If father or
mother or both are dead; kids and dead kid’s kids will get the
inheritance.
If there is no parents and kids or parent’s kid or grandchild, then
grandfather and grandmother are legal inheritors. If they are dead their
kids will be legal inheritors.
