Bava Batra 115 – Order of Inheritance: Depth-First

"if a man should die, and he has no sons, you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter." A son takes precedence over a daughter. Moreover, all the descendants of a son take precedence over a daughter.

However, a daughter takes precedence over the deceased's brothers (her uncles), and the descendants of a daughter take precedence over brothers. The daughter also precedes the deceased's father (her grandfather).

This is the rule: whoever takes precedence in the inheritance, his descendants also take precedence, and the father takes precedence over all his descendants – because the deceased's brothers are related to him through their common father.
