In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
 
The estate will be divided into 72 equal shares and distributed amongst the heirs as follows;
The son will receive 34 shares
The daughter will receive 17 shares
The mother will receive 12 shares
The wife will receive 9 shares
 
As for the deposited money, if the decased has made his wife the owner, then it will not be consider as part of the estate, however if it was given to her just to look after, then it will be added to the estate.
 
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
