Define Next of Kin

Sorry I'm not exactly up on real estate legalities but if a person dies unexpectedly and their property goes to the "next of kin" who exactly falls under that criteria? Does the hierarchy go sibling, child, cousin, niece/nephew, etc...? Just curious.

If you really want to know, I'd do a google or other internet search. I'm sure you could find this information on-line.

Best.
