Yes, a sister can potentially draw benefits from a deceased person, depending on the deceased's estate plan and applicable laws. If the deceased had a will or trust that names the sister as a beneficiary, she may receive assets or financial benefits.

Survivor benefits are payments provided by Social Security to a spouse, ex-spouse, or dependent children when a worker dies.

The next of kin of a deceased person aged 62 when their mother is 92 would typically be their own children, if they have any. If the deceased has no children or if they have predeceased them, then it would likely be their siblings, nieces or nephews, or other close relatives. Ultimately, the designation of next of kin can vary depending on the specific circumstances and legal regulations in the jurisdiction.
Next of kin refers to a person's closest living relatives, typically identified by law. This usually includes a spouse, children, parents, or siblings in that order of priority. The specific definition can vary by jurisdiction, but generally, it designates those who would have legal rights and responsibilities regarding the deceased's estate and affairs.

If a deceased person is not married, their right to inheritance typically passes to their children, if any exist. In the absence of children, the estate may go to the deceased's parents or siblings, depending on the jurisdiction's laws. If no close relatives are available, the estate may eventually escheat to the state. Laws regarding inheritance can vary significantly, so it's essential to consult local regulations for specific circumstances.
The exact distribution depends on the state you are in but when a person dies without a will and direct decendents the estate still goes through probate. Generally probate distributes the estate (after taxes) to the wife and children, the parents (of the deceased), the siblings, the nephew and nieces and then to more remote relatives such as cousins, etc. If there is no relatives to distribute to and no will then the estate goes to the state.
When a person dies without a will then his property passes according to the state laws of intestacy. Generally, if your brother had a surviving spouse and/or children they would be first in line to inherit. If none then parents would be next. If none then his property would be shared by his siblings and/or the children of any deceased siblings. You can check your state laws at the link below.
Typically the results will be that the money will be split in half, one part to the spouse, the other half to the children. Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
The beneficiaries on your life insurance policy will receive the life insurance benefits. Please make sure your policy is updated with the correct beneficiaries. Many people forget to update their life insurance policy after divorce, or any other major life event and unfortunately the ex-husband or ex-wife receives the benefits.

The only way to ensure that the benefits are going to the intended person(s), is to update your insurance policy's beneficiaries.
