01The deceased and spouse
02Parents and children
Siblings and the mother’s share

Count only living full or paternal siblings who meet Article 892. The threshold is two brothers, one brother and two sisters, or four sisters. The father must be alive. These siblings do not inherit alongside first-class heirs, but may restrict the mother’s share.

Uncertainty about eligibility or inheritance barriers requires individual review.

Are there other circumstances?
03Siblings and immediate grandparents

This class is considered only when no parent, child or further descendant survives. Enter only living relatives legally eligible to inherit.

Siblings

Count each person once. Full siblings share both parents, paternal half-siblings share only the father, and maternal half-siblings share only the mother. Full siblings exclude paternal half-siblings.

Immediate grandparents

Relationships are to the deceased. These four choices do not include ancestors of earlier generations.

04The estate amount

Before you use the result

Does the father always receive one-sixth?

No. With only a father and one daughter, the surplus is returned proportionately. The father receives one-quarter and the daughter three-quarters.

Are percentages based on all the assets?

They apply to the distributable estate after prior costs, rights, debts and an effective will. The tool does not establish ownership, calculate tax or settle the estate.

How does a wife inherit real property?

Under Article 946, a wife inherits movable property itself and the value of immovable property. A percentage in this table does not, by itself, establish a co-ownership share in the land or building.

Do all siblings receive equal shares?

No. Full siblings exclude paternal half-siblings, but do not exclude maternal half-siblings. Within the paternal group, male shares are twice female shares. The maternal group divides equally. A spouse and grandparents can also affect the result.

Legal basis

Iranian Civil Code, Articles 843, 862–870, 875–892, 905–927 and 940–949.

Civil Code in Persian ↗

The calculation assumes Iranian Civil Code rules apply and the entered heirs are legally eligible. Personal-status rules that differ, complex wills and special assets such as habwah are outside this version.
