What does the term "Kin" refer to legally?

Any person related by marriage
All blood relatives
The surviving spouse only
Close friends of the deceased

The correct answer is: The surviving spouse only

The term "Kin" legally refers to all individuals who are connected by blood or through family ties. This includes parents, siblings, children, and other relatives who share a common ancestor. In legal contexts, "kin" typically emphasizes relationships established through blood rather than those formed by marriage or through chosen relationships such as friendships. While some might think that "kin" could refer solely to the surviving spouse, the legal definition encompasses a wider group, including all blood relatives. Other relationships, such as those formed by marriage or friendships, do not fall under the strict legal definition of "kin." Therefore, the correct understanding of "kin" includes the entirety of blood relatives rather than focusing only on the surviving spouse or any other specific group.
