Question

Please could you advice in the following scenario, what percentage would be the entitlement for each:

Husband passed away: Leaving behind £60,000.00

Father

Answer

The estate will be divided into 27 equal shares and distributed as follows:

The 2 daughters will receive 8 shares each

The wife will receive 3 shares

The mother will receive 4 shares

The father will receive 4 shares

Hence the distribution of the monetary figures will be as follows:

The 2 daughters will receive £17 777,77 (each)

The wife will receive £6 666,66

The mother will receive £8 888,88

The father will receive £8 888,88

The remaining 4 pence will be given in charity with the consent of all the heirs.
