if my mother and stepfather pass away, will his family be next of kin if im not adopted ?

Answer 1

You are first assuming that they die at the same moment. The law takes notice of things like who dies first, even if the difference is in minutes. And you are also assuming there is no will. If there is no will, then the rules of intestacy apply. That's when you need to know who died first. IF your stepfather dies first and your mother has no will, and you have no siblings, then you get the spoils. IF she dies first, and then he does, then it goes to him, and his family, (legal children first, and if no children then to his parents, and so on)

Answer 2

No, your next of kin would be your mother's family, unless your natural father is somewhere in the picture, then he would be your NOK. Planning an arson? You seem pretty intent on finding this out.

Answer 3

If all the money is in his name, unless he wills some of it to you personally, his family will have a shot at getting some but not you.

Answer 4

You've already asked this question.

Answer 5

no
