Well, honey, the next of kin is typically your closest living relative, so in this case it would likely be your brother. But hey, if your grandchild is the one who's always there for you and knows all your secrets, they could probably make a case for being next in line. Just make sure you have a will in place to avoid any family drama, okay?
