My child of course

Under d law, once you're married, ur spouse becomes your next of Kin, irrespective of who you put.

Whoever she like let that person be her next of kin. E nor concern me as a man.

If only Men could be like me.

But they can't, because I'm one in a Million

everybody must not be the same

For a gender that wants their name to be on all their husband's documents, it may surprise you to know that 99% of Nigerian women have their child, sibling, or even parent listed as their next of kin. This may be due to the belief or hope that the man will pass away first or simply because they consider their money to be entirely their own or maybe because they have no idea how useless the next kin ish is.

Lol. All of the above!
Most women use their kids.
Most men use their siblings or parent.
This is/was from my first hand experience in banking. They are all delusional because an NOK is a contact person. The beneficiary would be determined by the court and the spouse comes first.

Like you rightly pointed out, for a set that wants to know all their husbands assets and have their names on it because they and the kids shouldn't suffer if he dies, I wonder why they want the widower to suffer. He should get the woman's money..."For the kids"

Nawa oo are you people not tired of this topic?

Honestly in my own case, my children are my next of kin

My husband can decide to pregnant another woman and marry her

Or he may decide to marry another woman

So my properties maybe claimed by such woman thinking it's the man's property

So once my children are my next of kin, so far am still alive it belongs to me and my husband

But if am not there it belongs to them all, at least they will have something from their mother

frozen70:


He actually uses his children as next of kin and I supported it

So we are ok using our children as next of kin

Children can't be your next of kin. It's only a child out of many you have. And if anything happens to you what becomes of other children you have?

this kind of question always comes from someone who is experienced unhealthy marital relationship or someone who is afraid of one. If your spouse can't be ur next of kin after marriage then ur marriage is not working and seek the face of God

LivingSage:
So men are not concern about who's next of kin n to their wife

It’s completely up to her, sis.

Funny how i don't care who her next of kin is,i have never thought about it before

LivingSage:
The thread asking who should be next of kin to a man graced FP and I think to balance the equation, there's reason for this as well.

The person I currently use as NOK nah my brother wey me and am no dey settle, I purposely put am there to stress him if anything happens because nah him they go call.

I have proper docs for little things I have and should anything happen to me today, my sister can easily withdraw whatever is in my account.

That will change someday but until then, nah only her get access.

I used to put my brother and it was simply because he never misses a call. I knew someone who would hardly ever pick calls because he was "busy" and I told him I can't put him as my NOK or contact person for that attitude. He was the first man I saw that calling him never came to my mind when in a precarious situation. Not even at the point of death.

Person no fit use him get hope be that.

Some people are like that. I also don't like picking calls once it is past 10pm

Next of kin is who to call on in times of emergency. The next of kin doesn't inherit the funds

The husband should be her next of king

Jennyclay, your opinion?

Next of kin is not only for inheritance or economic values or redistribution, in fact it bears little value to inheritance and wealth.

Next of kin simply means, who do we notify should anything happen to you and you are not able to response? Who do we notify if you are rushed into hospital on an emergency? Who do we allow to visit you on your hospital bed by default when you are not able to make that decision yourself?

Given the above, it is only proper and wise for married couples living together to put each other as their next of kin as it would be more faster and quicker to reach and get responses from the other spouse.

However if the couples are living apart e.g. one is abroad, the other in Nigeria or the distant is such that, it is impractical for one to respond immediately in the case of an emergency then it is proper to use the next closest relative.

You will determines who inherits your property, then your spouse or the court decides that.

The term next of kin usually refers to a person's closest living relative(s). Individuals who count as next of kin include those with a blood relation, such as children, or those with a legal standing, such as spouses or adopted children.
With that being said, she can use whoever she feels like.

Nothing concern me self

My wife uses her brother as next of kin while I use her as mine.

I would have loved to use one of my kids, but they are still young and I believe it makes no difference as they'll surely do their mother's bidding.

Acidosis:
You don't have a marriage if you are not confident enough to use your partner as your next of kin. You are nothing more than a con artist, most likely f00ling another scammer in the pretense of marital bliss. You should quit identifying as a married man or woman. You are a con artist.

Story of Nigerian women.

They want their husband to put everything in their names, but they will never do the same.

Here they are already saying it depends on the relationship of the couples. But in the previous thread. The said it should be an undeniable right of the wife without considering their relationship.

Naija women are too manipulative and cunny. Only a foolish man will marry and believe he is genuinely loved.

I can't marry a man I can't trust with my money or finances. So naturally, my husband will be my next of kin and I don't think this should be a question.

My sister used to be. But ideally I think d husband then when children is involve it should be them.

Your husband should also use his children Incase if you decide to marry another man tomorrow.what is good for the goose is also good for the gander

Anybody she chooses.
Me, I know my next of kin and my next of kin know me.

Samantha124:
That's kinda of difficult question to answer and I think it also depends on the nature of the relationship between the couple.. Whether you got married because of love and trust, or you got married because you get to benefit something from each other.

I remember there was a time I found my brother in law's life insurance papers in my parents house while I was doing some spring cleaning.. I think him or my sister forgot them there or maybe it was just a copy that they no longer needed.

As I read the papers, I found out that he also put his mother as the beneficiary, I got curious, so I called my sister and asked her about it... She sounded very much okay with it and since she was okay with it, I decided to mind my business.

As for who should be the woman's next of kin, I think it should be someone that she trusts too, it could be anyone.

NOK doesn't inherit shishi if one dies interstate (without a will)

You will determines who inherits your property, then your spouse or the court decides that.

true talk. NOK doesn't inherit shishi. Who is in will does. If the person dies interstate, the court determines.

OP. You can ask any legal practitioner. Next-of-kin is different from who will benefit (beneficiary) fro a Will or from any legal document that has financial implications.
Next-of-kin is just someone the law recognizes to be contacted in case there’s any problem or demise of the person who takes out a Will or have legal financial dealings with any party.

A lot of people make this mistake.

So wherever you are filling a form and they ask for beneficiary and next of kin, please know that they have two different meaning under our legal systems.

Where only next of kin is mentioned in a document, note that it is always tougher for any purported’ beneficiary to lay claim to any financial instances mentioned in such documents.


I don talk my own o.
