HOW TO BE THE NEXT OF KIN IN SYDNEY, NSW?

Losing a loved one is tough, and the next steps can feel overwhelming. At Funera Sydney, we're here to help you navigate this journey with a concise guide.

UNDERSTANDING NEXT OF KIN

The next of kin takes charge of legal and funeral matters. The order is clear:

1. Spouse or Domestic Partner
2. Eldest Adult Child
3. Parent
4. Sibling
5. Appointed Executor
6. Personal Representative
7. Closest Relation by Coroner

For singles or those estranged, it gets complex. Each role comes with significant duties.

WILLS VS INTESTACY

A will with an executor means assets follow wishes. No will? Next of kin steps in, handling finances and more, often via probate.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the next of kin, you handle:

• Organ Donation Choices
• Informing Others
• Registering the Death
• Funeral Arrangements
• Estate Admin
• Wrapping Up Affairs
