Solve this family riddle.

A man had a bank account, and he appointed his younger brother next-of-kin. The younger brother had an account over which he appointed his wife next-of-kin. His wife had also appointed her younger cousin next-of-kin. This younger cousin appointed his grandmother next-of-kin, just to humor her. Just when the granny was passing on, she made a younger friend of hers next-of-kin.

After the grandmother's death, shortly after, the others died except the first man who had started his account. The riddle is, when he eventually dies - death is always inevitable, will it all go to this young friend of the grandmother?

if this were a true story, in a Nigerian context, do you think some Judge has the time to do this kind of mathematics?

Nope cos that is not his next-of-kin but that of the dead granma.

@solosqr is right that the judge would do some maths. but after that, all the next of kin stuff should point to the last person.

it would go to the last man standing

Is the first man childless?

Oracle:

Is the first man childless?

does not count seeing he has appointed a next-of-kin. that can only be used if he changes it while still alive.
