If these are the only surviving heirs at the time of your death then the estate will be divided into 36 equal shares and distributed as follows:
Husband will receive 9 shares
Mother will receive 6 shares
Son will receive 14 shares
Daughter will receive 7 shares
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
