Primary text

When the paternal aunt is treated as the paternal grandmother in terms of proximity, the wealth goes to the paternal aunt. When the daughter of the paternal brother is treated as the paternal uncle's daughter, the wealth goes to the daughter of the paternal brother. When the distribution is based on treating them as grandparents, the division is shared between them.
