Distribution when the bequest to the outsider is one-fourth of the estate.

Primary text

If the bequest to the outsider is one-fourth of the wealth, the ten units of tangible assets are divided between the executor and the son without debt into fifths. The bequest recipient receives four-fifths, and the non-debtor son receives six-fifths of the tangible asset division (this phrasing suggests a complex division mechanism based on the proportions of the remaining shares after accounting for the bequest). The insolvent son's debt is reduced by three-fourths, leaving one-fourth of the original debt owed. When the remaining debt is collected, it is divided between the executor and the non-debtor son in fifths, corresponding to how the tangible assets were divided. This is because the bequest represents one-fourth (two-eighths), leaving six-eighths remaining. Each son is allocated three-eighths of the remaining estate value. The share allocated to the bequest recipient and the non-debtor son totals five-eighths; three-eighths for the son and two-eighths for the bequest recipient. This establishes the fifths division for both the tangible assets and the recovered debt.
