What is Next of Kin?

The term "next of kin" refers to an individual's nearest living blood relative, a person who may have inheritance rights and obligations. A few countries have altered their laws to accommodate those who are tied by adoption or marriage.
The phrase "next of kin" is most typically used in Estate Law when a person dies without making a will and has neither a spouse nor children. Though the exact criteria used to determine next of kin will vary from state to state.
*If there is an emergency, the next of kin can easily be reached, and other people must be informed.
*When the treatment has been completed successfully, taking the patient home.
*Making rational decisions if the patient's decision-making capacity is lost. 
When a person dies without a will, the next of kin is also responsible for applying probate. This is because, under the principles of intestacy, they are the person who stands to inherit the most.
