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.

What is a daughter of your cousin and your 2nd cousin as it's your mum's cousin and can i go out with this daughter of my 2nd cousin or is that wrong?

You can go out with anyone you want. However, making children with close relatives is not recommended, but that is very different from going out with them. Your first cousin is the child of your aunt or uncle. Your second cousin is the grandchild of your great aunt or great uncle, and the child of your first cousin. The daughter of your second cousin is your second cousin, once removed. Marriages between first cousins have been accepted, even approved, in some cultures. Marriages between more distant relatives are more widely accepted in the modern, western culture.
