Distribution under general inheritance rules : two or more generation inheritance
Fatawa Question
AssalamOaalikum Professor My grandfather "S" his father "M" died leaving one son "S" and 3 daughters All the 1 son and 3 daughters died after their father "M". My grandfather "S" had 2 sons my father "Y" and his brother "I" no sisters. My grandfather "S" died in 1973, his wife my grandmother died 1994. My father "Y" died in 1996 and his brother "I" died in 2003 The problem is after I have done many exhaustive enquiries, all we know is my grandfather "S" and his 3 sisters are inheritors of their father "M" estate. What we don't know if the wife of: "M" was alive when "M" died whether the 3 daughters died before or after their husband's, and the children of the 3 daughters who died before whom and all the other minute details we do not know. I am asking based on the 3 daughters and my grandfather "S" since no other information is known all who would have known have all passed away, can we go ahead and distribute the estate based on what we know ? This was to be the work of my fore-parents but I in my capacity as eldest son of "Y" I have been entrusted with this issue along with my uncle "I" son also eldest child of "I" we want to sort out this issue which goes way back in the 1950's when my grandfather's father "M" died. Can you please inform me the best way to deal with this issue. SHUKRAN. Please do not put my name on the internet. Please reply as soon as possible as me and my cousin may have to go overseas where the estate is located. SHUKRA
