-If the person who bequeathed the second degree becomes the heir of the group where your relatives are located, you will receive half of the inheritance,
-If the inheritor is the heir from the third stream, that is, from the group where his great-parents are, three-quarters of the inheritance remains with the surviving spouse.
-In the event that there is no one of these heirs, the entire inheritance is transferred to the spouse.
-If the heir does not have any legal or appointed heirs, his inheritance is transferred to the state in accordance with the rules of inheritance law.
