In the absence of children, siblings become the end beneficiary of the remaining inheritance after it has been distributed to parents and spouse(s). As for the departed siblings, their share will be calculated accordingly in ratio of 1:2, with a brother getting twice the share as that of a sister, and their share will then be distributed among children of departed siblings in the same 1:2 w.r.t male and female children of the departed siblings. In addition to response by Hassan Sahab shared by Ahsan Sahab above, please also refer to the following resposne by Irfan Shahzad Sahab:

Will in favor of Kalala is optional, and if children are present, then will can be made in favour of siblings in their capacity as Kalala (becasue here they are not the part of primary distribution hierarchy in the presence of children). And if will is made in favour of Kalala, then sharia regarding that distribution should be followed: If the relative who is made an heir has one brother or one sister then he or she shall be given a sixth of his share and he himself shall receive the remaining five sixth. However, if he has more than one brother and sister then they shall be given a third of his share and he himself shall receive the remaining two thirds.

@UmerQureshi i understand how the system works and the parts that goes in each case
I have one confusion. In presence of siblings like sisters. If the guy wants to will all his property to one of his nephew because of the khidmat he has done or because of his conditions. Is it compulsory that some part of it should be given to others as his relation is also kalala.

In this case there are no parents and children. And brothers have died

As per my unerstanding, will done in favor of Kalala (i.e. Nephew in this case) should be subject to the kalala distribution mentioned above.
Irfan Sahab (@Irfan76 ) can shed further light on this matter.

The principle is that the will or bequeath will prevail, law comes next after will if there left anything. In the case cited above, all his wealth goes to the nephew. Law of Kalala will not apply here, according to my understanding.
