Task: Question Answering
Input (English): passage: In some legal systems, rights regarding inheritance (which imply a decision-making capacity -- for example, in a medical emergency -- where no clear will or instructions have been given, and where the person has no spouse) flow to the closest relative (regardless of the age, with a representative appointed if a minor), usually a child, a parent or a sibling. However, there are people without any close adult relatives and, in such a case, decision-making power often flows to a niece or nephew, first cousin, aunt or uncle, or grandparent.
 question: can my mother be my next of kin?
Output (English): Yes
