"Your property will be inherited by what are known as ""Class-I"" heirs who are given priority under law such as your children. Each Class-I heir would get an equal share in the property. Therefore, if you leave behind your wife, two children and your mother, each one of them would get 1/4th share in your estate.
If there are no Class-I heirs then your estate would be divided among Class-II heirs. In the remote possibility that there are no Class-I or Class-II heirs your estate would be divided between distant blood relatives."
