contribution of estate between a widow and two sons

What do the respected Muftis say regarding the following matter:
Our father has passed away. Among the heirs, he is survived by one widow (our mother) and two sons. The paternal grandfather and grandmother (i.e., our father's parents) had already passed away before him. We want to know how our deceased father's estate should be distributed among the mentioned heirs according to Islamic law (Shariah).

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

The estate of the deceased father of the inquirer shall be distributed among his surviving heirs according to the principles of Islamic inheritance as follows:
From whatever movable and immovable property, gold, silver, jewelry, cash, and all kinds of household goods, big or small, the deceased owned at the time of his death — the following steps should be taken:
First, the average expenses for the shrouding and burial (funeral) of the deceased should be paid from the estate.
Then, if the deceased had any outstanding debts or had not paid the dowry (mahr) of his widow, those obligations should be settled.
After that, if the deceased had made any valid will (wasiyyah), it should be carried out up to one-third (1/3) of the remaining estate after debts and funeral expenses.
Finally, whatever remains should be divided into sixteen (16) equal parts:
The widow of the deceased shall receive two (2) parts.
Each of the deceased's sons shall receive seven (7) parts."
