absence of heirs instituted in a will, the law vests the inheritance, in the legitimate
and illegitimate relatives of the deceased, in the surviving spouse, and in the State in

By applying these rules to your case, it is apparent that the three sisters of your
father cannot inherit from the latter. You (and your siblings if there be any) are in
the direct descending line of your father whereas the latter’s three sisters are his
collateral relatives. Hence, there being no descendant/s in the direct line of your
father, the collateral relatives are excluded in succeeding to the property left by your
father.
