أ- إذا كانت الوصية لاحد بسهم شائع في التركة ، ولآخر بمثل نصيب وارث معين او غير معين ، قدرت اولا حصة له بمثل نصيب الوارث على اعتبار انه لا وصية غيرها . ويقسم الثلث بين الوصيتين بالمحاصة ، إذا ضاق الثلث عنهما. ب - إذا كانت الوصية بقدر محدود من النقود ، او بعين من اعيان التركة بدل السهم الشائع ، قدرت النقود ، او قيمة العين بما تساويه من سهام التركة .
