If there is no will (effective prior to death) today, the brothers split the inheritance without the sisters (halacha l’maisa)?

Lets simplify things and say that all parties are in EY, and agree to follow Halacha. Then:

Each daughter gets 10% of the estate (with the second getting 10% of what is left, and then divided equally) for her dowery.

The daughters and wife get to live off the estate until they marry or the wife gets her Kesuba.

The wife gets her Kesuba (either at her request, or when the estate offers it).

After all that, if there is anything left, the sons may get the rest (after all Chovos are paid, etc.)

If I left anything out, it was unintentional.
