Here also the share of the brother is double that of the sisters. When the deceased person has no children but he has parents and wife, then half of his property is inherited by his father, one-fourth by his mother and the rest by his wife. In this case none of the deceased's brothers 3 nd sisters will inherit the property as their parents are alive. If the deceased has no children, parents, brothers and sisters, in that case his wife inherits half of his property and the rest by his nephews and nieces. The daughter-in-law does not inherit any part of her father-in-law's property if her husband had died during the lifetime of her father-in-law. Similarly, the grandchildren will not inherit their grandfather's property if their father had died during the lifetime of their grandfather.
