What can the next of kin inherit?

The next of kin can inherit various assets from a deceased person's estate, depending on the laws of intestacy in their jurisdiction and whether there is a valid will. Typically, this may include property, bank accounts, personal belongings, and investments. If there is a will, the next of kin may inherit according to the deceased's wishes outlined in the document. In the absence of a will, the estate is divided among next of kin, usually starting with immediate family members like spouses, children, and parents.
