Best Answer

A first cousin is the child of your parent's sibling while a nephew is the child of your sibling. That makes the nephew more closely related to you than the first cousin, unless the law in your place of residence defines things differently.

Is your cousin's nephew your cousin or nephew or neither?

Your first cousin's sibling (parent of the nephew) is also your first cousin, so in that case the nephew is your first cousin, once removed.However, it's possible that the nephew is the son of one of your cousin's spouse's siblings, which makes him best described as "no relation."Then there's half-siblings, and step-siblings.... the bottom line is you're probably best off leaving it as "my cousin's nephew" except in the specific "cousin once removed" case already mentioned.


Who is first in line first cousin or second cousin?

Your first cousin is the child of your parent's sibling. Your second cousin is the grandchild of your grandparent's sibling. So your first cousin is more closely related to you than your second cousin and is "first in line" if you leave no living children, grandchildren, parents or siblings.


How do you go about finding out if a house which is now empty which once belonged to your cousin who is dead can be claimed by you?

You may need to seek the advice of an attorney. If your cousin's parents are alive they would be the first in line to inherit her/his property. If the parents are deceased then your cousin's siblings would be next in line. If your cousin is not survived by parents or siblings then the next in line of descent becomes more complicated and you may indeed have an interest. In that case you would need to consult with an attorney who specializes in probate.
