Given parameters:

Fraction given to charity =
(1)/(3)

Fraction given to wife =
(2)/(3)

Unknown:

Fraction given to son and daughter =?

Solution:

Let the total property = x

Fraction given to charity =
(1)/(3) x

Fraction given to wife =
(2)/(3) x

The remaining was given to son and daughter = F

So;

Total property = fraction given to charity + fraction given to wife + fraction given to son and daughter

x =
(1)/(3) x + (2)/(3) x + F

F = x - (
(1)/(3) x + (2)/(3) x)

F = 0

The son and daughter will not inherit anything
