In the US and the UK a minor child's next of kin is her parents. It doesn't matter whether they are married and the law favors neither one. See the related question for a more detailed source for inheritance from intestate estates.

The chance that their next child will have normal pigmentation is 75%. Albinism is usually caused by a recessive gene, so both parents would need to carry the gene in order to have an albino child. If both parents have normal pigmentation, then the chance of passing on the albino gene to their next child is 25%.


Who are the descendants of a minor?

I will assume you want to know who are the next-of-kin of a minor. Although degrees of kinship are decided according to state law, generally, a minor's next-of-kin are the parents. If the parents are deceased then the next-of-kin would be any siblings. If there are no siblings then the next in line would be grandparents or any lineal descendants of the grandparents. You can review a Degrees of Kinship Chart at the link below.
