Your parents and children are next of kin, when used as a common phrase by the English language.

Typically, the term next of kin will apply to close relatives by descent (grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren), or through marriage (husband, wife, stepfather, stepmother).

That depends on whether or not they have any children, grandchildren, siblings, or if their parents are still living. If they have children, then the children are the next of kin. If they had children and the children are deceased, yet had children of their own, then the grandchildren would be the next of kin. If there are no grandchildren either, then the parents are next of kin. If the parents are deceased, then the siblings would be next of kin. If they have no children, grandchildren, siblings or surviving parents or grandparents, then the closest blood relatives would be their next of kin, such as aunts and uncles, cousins, etc. in that order.

Next of kid after a death?

I think you meant "Next of Kin" which means the nearest survivor to the person who has died. IN a family with a husband wife and two children, if the Husband dies, the wife is Next of Kin. If both parents died, say in a car crash, then the children are next of kin to them. Hope this helps!
