Next of Kin

This is the scenario

Someone dies intestate.

They have no surviving husband or wife.

They have no surviving children.

They have no surviving brothers or sisters.

Their only surviving relatives are :

a niece

a son-in-law through a civil partnerhsip, not a 'true' marriage

Who would the courts view as being the next of kin ?

It goes via the family tree, the niece is a blood relation so she gets it

the niece

And after having suffered from someone dying without making a will and it taking 8 years to sort out. I would encourage everyone to make a will

And civil partners do count in law so the son in law would be classed as a closer relative than the neice so between the two it would be the son in law, not sure if he would still be classed as a civil son in law tho if the daughters dead?

nah now ive understood and got all the info, its the son in law as civil partnerships do count in the eyes of the law so he would be classed as a closer relative than the neice

Glasgow

The niece would inherit

If there are no direct descendents surviving (son / daughter / grandchildren) & no direct ancestors (parents or grandparents) then collateral relatives are next in line (brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces)
