DISTRIBUTION ACT 1958-FAQ

If a man does without making a will, how is the property divided? He had a wife, a daughter and both parents are still alive.
S6(g) If an intestate dies leaving a spouse, issue and parent or parents, the surviving spouse shall be entitled to one-quarter of the estate, the issue shall be entitled to one-half of the estate and the parents or parents the remaining one quarter.

 The answer is found in the above section. Wife gets 1/4, daughter gets 1/2  and the parents get a 1/4 of the property.
