Sharing property of no children in islam

My both aunty and uncle died without having children.

Aunty died first before uncle. Both had properties in their name. Now aunty siblings and uncle siblings families wants to share the property within them.

Aunty has one brother and 3 sisters and they are alive. My uncle had 4 brothers and they all died before my uncle, but their children exist.

How much share my aunty and uncle siblings will get?

Respected Mr. Shamsudeen, I am very sorry for your loss,

However, when a Muslim dies without a legitimate heir, his property is acquired by the government through the procedure of escheat.
If there are no living lineal heirs but other relatives, one-half of the property goes to the widow and the other half to the relatives. If there are no relatives left, his widow will get the entire inheritance.

 

Regards,

Anaita Vas
