Inheritance distribution : distribution of father's state

Fatawa Question

I have been entrusted by my family members for the disposal of the house proceeds and the bank deposit in my father’s name. The total proceeds of the house and the bank deposit amount is PKR. 2290148.00 and the heirs of my father are as follows : Wife (my mother), 2-sons (living), 4-daughters, 1-grandson (from a deceased son). In addition, he has 1-brother (married and living independently with his wife and children), 1-sister (widow and living independently with her children). My question is 2-fold ; first whether the brother and sister of my father will entitle anything from my father’s inheritance, secondly how will my father’s inheritance of PKR. 2290148.00 will be distributed among the heirs ? I seek guidance in the name of Allah almighty and need to perform this responsibility of dividing my father’s inheritance as per Islamic law as soon as possible. Your early response will be highly appreciated. B. Regards, Muhammad
