Estate distribution : question on inheritance

السؤال

I don’t know if u got this from me last week, but there was an error in the computer, I am not sure if it was sent or not, let me know if I am mistaken in any issue mentioned bellow ? Just a few questions : 1-Does leaving behind two daughters, one wife, both parents, block brothers of a deceased from getting portion of inheritance ? My readings tell me that both sons or daughters block the brothers or sisters from inheriting, is that correct ? 2-Do you know if Tunisia has an Islamic inheritance law ? 3- Here is a case, Tunisian brother that died from our community, I suggested to his brothers here that they should write down what he owned at the time of death and document his assets here and in Tunisia and write down who are the heirs according to Islamic Shari’ah. The deceased brother left like four cars and construction equipment here and has a furnished home in Tunisia that he recently built and furnished by shipping containers from the US. his brothers now use his cars and his construction equipment, and so I told them they should before using it, estimate the cost of the equipments and the 3 cars at the time of death and document because people tend to forget, and the two brothers here in the US, are the only living soles that know about his financial assets. I told them that even if they don’t wish to make official documents in Tunisia regarding inheritance, that minimum, they should as a family agree and document all the details. Anyways, correct me if I am wrong, the deceased left behind : one wife, two daughters, mother, and father, five brothers (who do not inherit in this case) Wife gets 3 / 27 Mother 4 / 27 Father 4 / 27 2 dauthers 16 / 27 I got these from your schedule, would this be correct ?
