Installment of Inheritance Money

Question
A brother wants his share of his family's inheritance. The mother and father have passed away, and in the house lives an unmarried daughter and brothers residing in apartments within the same house. No one can give him his full share at once, so is it permissible to pay his share in installments?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is assumed that they should calculate each one's share, then agree on how to deliver it, whether immediately, in installments, or in any way they see fit, and God knows best.
