One will also ignore<br />
the old allotments<br />
and only consider the<br />
allotments from the<br />
new sum to make the<br />
allotments from the<br />
Tashih<br />
Note: As from their definitions, one will notice that `Awl and Radd are<br />
opposites and thus cannot come together in one scenario.<br />
MAKING THE ALLOTMENTS MATCH THE ESTATE<br />
As one will have noticed, in none <strong>of</strong> the examples given has an estate<br />
actually been divided. What has been done is that each individual has<br />
got an allotment (or share) from a total sum (original or reached<br />
through `Awl, Radd or Ta]#|#). This total, more <strong>of</strong>ten than not, bears<br />
no resemblance to the actual estate or its value. e.g. A sum may be <strong>of</strong><br />
5040 shares (allotments), whereas the actual estate may be £100,000<br />
or £1,000. Thus if one wishes to know what the actual inheritance is<br />
for each heir then one will have to convert this allotment into an actual<br />
portion <strong>of</strong> the estate. This is done by applying the following formula.<br />
Individual<br />
<strong>Inheritance</strong><br />
Individual<br />
Allotment<br />
Estate Total<br />
Total Allotments<br />
Which in simple terms is, the total value <strong>of</strong> the estate will be divided by<br />
the total number <strong>of</strong> allotments (i.e. the sum). <strong>The</strong> resulting number will<br />
