the spouse inherits both community property and some separate property, as discussed <a href=\"https:\/\/probatestars.com\/surviving-spouse-rights-california\/\">here<\/a>, and as set forth in <a href=\"https:\/\/probatestars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Section-6401.pdf\">Section 6401<\/a> of the California Probate Code.\u00a0 But, if there is no surviving spouse, or an intestate estate, then status as next of kin in California comes into play.<\/p><p>California law also sets forth the next of kin hierarchy for the intestate distribution of separate property or the entire estate if there is no surviving spouse:<\/p><blockquote><p>Except as provided in Section 6402.5, the part of the intestate estate not passing to the surviving spouse, under Section 6401, or the entire intestate estate if there is no surviving spouse, passes as follows:<\/p><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>(a)\u00a0To the issue of the decedent, the issue taking equally if they are all of the same degree of kinship to the decedent, but if of unequal degree those of more remote degree take in the manner provided in Section 240.<\/p><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>(b)\u00a0If there is no surviving issue, to the decedent\u2019s parent or parents equally.<\/p><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>(c)\u00a0If there is no surviving issue or parent, to the issue of the parents or either of them, the issue taking equally if they are all of the same degree of kinship to the decedent, but if of unequal degree those of more remote degree take in the manner provided in Section 240.<\/p><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>(d)\u00a0If there is no surviving issue, parent or issue of a parent, but the decedent is survived by one or more grandparents or issue of grandparents, to the grandparent or grandparents equally, or to the issue of those grandparents if there is no surviving grandparent, the issue taking equally if they are all of the same degree of kinship to the decedent, but if of unequal degree those of more remote degree take in the manner provided in Section 240.<\/p><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>(e)\u00a0If there is no surviving issue, parent or issue of a parent, grandparent or issue of a grandparent, but the decedent is survived by the issue of a predeceased spouse, to that issue, the issue taking equally if they are all of the same degree of kinship to the predeceased spouse, but if of unequal degree those of more remote degree take in the manner provided in Section 240.<\/p><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>(f)\u00a0If there is no surviving issue, parent or issue of a parent, grandparent or issue of a grandparent, or issue of a predeceased spouse, but the decedent is survived by next of kin, to the next of kin in equal degree, but where there are two or more collateral kindred in equal degree who claim through different ancestors, those who claim through the nearest ancestor are preferred to those claiming through an ancestor more remote.<\/p><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>(g)\u00a0If there is no surviving next of kin of the decedent and no surviving issue of a predeceased spouse of the decedent, but the decedent is survived by the parents of a predeceased spouse or the issue of those parents, to the parent or parents equally, or to the issue of those parents if both are deceased, the issue taking equally if they are all of the same degree of kinship to the predeceased spouse, but if of unequal degree those of more remote degree take in the manner provided in Section 240.<\/p><\/blockquote><h2>When Does Being Next of Kin in California Matter?<\/h2><p>Status as someone&#8217;s next of kin in California can come into play in several different circumstances, both during life and after death.<\/p><p>During life, if someone has no health care surrogate, then next of kin will be the person tasked in making decisions should the person become unable to do so.<\/p><p>After death, next of kin in California means the same thing as the intestate heirs of the estate.\u00a0 Therefore, knowing the next of kin is required if the decedent dies without a will.\u00a0 Also, being next of kin in California can come into play if an autopsy is requested.\u00a0 Although a surviving spouse, surviving child or parent have priority, if none of these persons exist, the next of kin may be called upon to <a href=\"https:\/\/probatestars.com\/who-has-the-power-to-authorize-an-autopsy-under-california-law\/\">authorize an autopsy<\/a> under California
