It is normally the immediate family of the person that has died, such as parents, brothers and sisters, if there are no immediate relatives then it would be aunts, uncles cousins and so on, however it is up to the family arranging the funeral to decide who goes where. Indeed, the deceased may have already decided before they died by making their own funeral arrangements.

When a person dies intestate then the probate laws of the state where the person lived takes precedence in the distribution of property and other assets, In addition, all debts of the deceased must be paid out of the estate according to their priority. Contacting the clerk of the probate court in the city or county where the deceased resided will help obtain more specific information. Usually it will be auctioned by the local government. -DJ Craig
The person who will "acquire" the property must commence a probate proceeding in the probate court. That means you need to present the will for allowance and be appointed the executor or if there is no will you must petition to become the administrator of the estate. The only way for title to real property to pass to an heir is through probate court. You should seek the advice of an attorney who can assist you in this process.
You have no relationship with the cousin, so you are not entitled to anything from the estate unless the cousin died and left it to your friend before your friend died.
The question is'nt clear, but... Your father, mother, and siblings are called your "immediate family." Grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles... they are called your extended family.
Depends on what degree of cousins you are... if you are immediate (1st degree cousins), the likelihood of birth defects and/or premature birth are greatly increased--- compared to a non-related couple. If you however are 2nd , 3rd or more removed cousins through family relations, you are far more unlikely to encounter any problems with your children.
