Is a step son the next of kin if there are no other relatives except a distant cousin and his father is already deceased but the step mother has no will?
It all depends on what the provisions of the estate documents state. However, next of kin means a blood relative so the distant cousin would be the heir. In order for the step son to be a next of kin they would have to have been adopted with the provisions stating that the adopted child would be considered as a natural born child of the deceased. Being that there is no will it will go by the guidelines of the intestacy laws (laws for a deceased without a will) which in most cases looks for the nearest blood relative. You may contest this through the courts but there is no guarantee that you will receive any of the money.
