Questions and Answers amplifies the provisions of the law as
it relates to the shares of the inheritance allocated to the
brothers and sisters of the deceased. If the brother or sister is
from the same father as the deceased, he or she will inherit
his or her full allotted share. If, however, the brother or
sister is from another father he or she will inherit only two
thirds of the allotted share, the remaining one third
reverting to the House of Justice (Q and A 6). Further, in the
case where the deceased has full brothers or full sisters
185
among his heirs, half-brothers and half-sisters from the
mother’s side do not inherit (Q and A 53). The half-brothers
and half-sisters will, of course, be due to receive inheritance
from their own father’s estate.
