Frequently asked questions

What are awl and radd?

Awl applies when the fixed shares add up to more than the estate, so each is reduced proportionally. Radd applies when shares add up to less, and the surplus returns to eligible heirs.

Does this replace a scholar or court?

No. It gives a general calculation. Debts, bequests and special cases can change the result, so confirm with a qualified scholar or the court.

Why do the shares sometimes not add up to one?

When fixed shares total more than the estate, awl reduces each proportionally. When they total less and no residual heir exists, radd returns the remainder to the heirs.
