Wife, one son and one daughter
A man passes away leaving his wife, one son, and one daughter. There are no surviving parents.
- Wife1/8 - fixed share (descendants present)
- Son7/12 - residuary, 2 shares
- Daughter7/24 - residuary, 1 share
No relatives are blocked in this case.
- The wife takes her fixed 1/8 (descendants are present).
- Remainder: 1 - 1/8 = 7/8.
- The son and daughter are residuary, sharing at a 2:1 ratio - 3 units total.
- Each unit = 7/8 / 3 = 7/24.
- The son takes 2 units = 7/12. The daughter takes 1 unit = 7/24.
- Total: 1/8 + 7/12 + 7/24 = 1.

A son always makes any daughters residuary alongside him rather than fixed-share heirs, sharing the remainder at a male-to-female ratio of 2:1.
