The next of kin to deceased parents typically refers to their closest living relatives, often determined by legal definitions. This usually includes the spouse, children, or siblings of the deceased. If the parents had no spouse or children, their next of kin could be their parents or more distant relatives such as nieces, nephews, or cousins. Legal statutes may vary by jurisdiction, so it’s important to consult local laws for specific definitions.
