The Daughter's Lawyer



It is obvious that the father intended for the daughter to have one-third of the estate. Therefore the daughter should be allowed to receive her one-third from the entire estate. The remaining two-thirds can then be divided such that the son recieves two-thirds and the mother recieves one-third. This means that the daughter gets three-nineths, the mother gets two-nineths, and the brother gets four-nineths.
