can you choose who is your next of kin
passage · full text (832 characters)
``American statutes typically provide that, in absence of issue and subject to the share of a surviving spouse, intestate property passes to the parents or to the surviving parent of the decedent''. Under the civil law system of computation and its various modified forms that are widely adopted by statute in the United States, ``a claimant's degree of kinship is the total of (1) the number of the steps, counting one from each generation, from the decedent up to the nearest common ancestor of the decedent and the claimant, and (2) the number of steps from the common ancestor down to the claimant.'' ``The claimant having the lowest degree count (i.e., the nearest or next of kin) is entitled to the property.'' ``If there are two or more claimants who stand in equal degree of kinship to the decedent, they share per capita.''
