Next of kin
Next-of-kin is a term used for many interpretations that depend on the jurisdiction being referred to. In some jurisdictions, such as the United States, it is used to describe a person's closest living blood relative or relatives. In others, next-of-kin may have no legal definition and may not necessarily refer to blood relatives at all, as in the United Kingdom. In some legal systems, rights regarding inheritance serve a decision making capacity where no clear will or instructions have been given, and the person has no spouse, flow to their closest relative, usually a child, a parent or a sibling. However, there are people without any close adult relatives and, in such a case, decision making power often flows to a nephew, first cousin, aunt, uncle, or grandparent. For example, if a person dies intestate, the laws of some jurisdictions require the estate to be distributed to the person's spouse and/or children. However, if there are none of these, the estate can often be distributed to the next closest group of living relatives, whether they be parents, grandparents, First cousins, aunts & uncles, or second cousins in extreme cases. If a person dies intestate with no identifiable next-of-kin, the person's estate generally escheats to the government.
