since father has died intestate (without will), each member has one-fourth share. that is son from first wife has 1/4th, second wife 1/4th you 1/4th and brother 1/4th if marriage with second wife was after the death of first wife. However, if marriage took place during the life time of first marriage, then each son will have 1/3 rd share and second wife will have no share.
