Primary text

The entire estate belongs to the maternal aunt of the mother because they are treated as equivalent to the mother of the mother (maternal grandmother) and the mother of the father's mother (paternal grandmother).

Similarly, the ruling is the same if it is a maternal uncle of the father and a paternal uncle of the mother.
