Estate distribution : distribution of estate afer first generation

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, A property belongs to two brothers and a sister, all of whom are now deceased. The elder brother has three sons (his wife is deceased). The younger brother was unmarried with no children. The sister has two sons and a husband, who is alive. The parents of the property owners are also deceased. The younger brother died first, then the sister and then the elder brother. How is the inheritance of the younger brother distributed according to Shari’ah ? Is it distributed between his siblings ? How ? Furthermore, how are the respective inheritances of the elder brother and sister distributed among their descendents according to Shari’ah ? If someone wants to give a part of his inheritance to his brother or cousin, then what are the Shari’ah rules ? Please help me. I would appreciate it if you provide Quranic and hadith references along with your explanation. May Allah bless us all and help us to lead righteous lives. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
