Marriage defiled mathematical solution of 1+1. In mathematics, the answer is 2 as we all know. But in the marriage equation, the answer is 1. Do the man and the woman see themselves as 1? Or is the union viewed a marriage of convenience which only exist to bear children. The reason for this thread is just to sample our opinion as it relates to Next-of-Kin status as it relates to the woman in the marriage. I work with the Public Service and have had the opportunity to go through several documents of men who have been married for years with children but simply deliberately refused to include their wives as next-of-kin, choosing rather their children. I was able to sample the opinion of some and one reason that seems prominent with all revolves round suspicion and general lack of trust towards their wives. Do you as a husband Man, share in this suspicion? And as a wifee Woman, how do you feel to know that your husband do not feel comfortable making you his next of kin? |

men prefer to use their sons as next of kin, except a situation whereby the son is too young then the wife becomes the next liable candidate. my opinion sha |

If you find out your wife has become dangerous and only after your money, and perhaps regrets marrying you why on earth will you use her as your next of kin and facilitate your own exit from this planet to benefit her? Same applies to a husband too. There's no automatic ticket to trust in a relationship. You must earn it, dear. you shall be tested and found worthy in character, love and understanding, otherwise you lose on every front, not just life insurance. |

It's common sense to have the next of kin as one of the children, while the wife remains a custodian of the inheritance until said child(ren) reach a certain age. It may not really be about trust issues as stated by some posters above. |

I have my wife as my next of kin. I married her because I trust her and in case of any unexpected events, I know she is best able to take decisions in the interest of my children. And besides, my wife does not need my money to survive. She earns a living and can survive on her salary. But if you think your wife wants to kill you, it's better you get a separation than live in fear. Why are people sooo scared of their spouses? |

There are also numerous cases of men using their Fathers and brothers. There was a similar case of such that happened at my wife's place of work last year 2013. After the man passed, making his father the first option and brother the 2nd, the wife and kids where practically left in the cold. The office had to own their own frantically enter into some form of agreement between the father and brother for his wife and kids to be able to collect some stipend.. |

Isnt that stupidity? Why bring in little children into the world and make them suffer. He now leaves everything he has for his aged father who probably has only ten years or so left to live. He should have thought of his children who still have their entire lives ahead of them rather than leaving everything for his father who frankly does not even need the money. |

She will always be available to cater for the kids incase of any eventualities. Let the kids wait and get married. |

bukatyne: Loff wan tintinNot love, its common sense. If I put my father's name as next of kin, he will be the one to tell me to change it. There are little children involved here and these should be the primary responsibility of the man and not his parents or brothers. Even if you are worried your wife will marry another man after you... so? Do you want that man training your own children or should you not at least provide enough for your own children. Life itself is a risk and putting your wife's name as next of kin is certainly a "risk" worth taking. |

ANy WOman who isnt her Husbands 'Next of Kin' has no business being married to that Man.. The Day the man dies, dont be shocked to see his next of Kin show up to claim ownership of everything. Even your child can take over everything and kick you to the curb. |

But I think your child(ren) should be your BENEFICIARY OF FUNDS. Never make your wife your benefiary of funds if you don't trust her inside-out. Next of kin simply is the person the organisation needs to contact immediately should the need arise. |

KillerBeauty: The reaaon why husband and wife hustle is all because of their children. So let the kids have it all.[b]My Millionaire Uncle had an Interesting Will.. His will placed all he had in the care of his wife should he pass and for her to manage it as she would. He put in clauses that made contributions to his Childrens 'Trust Fund' that was still under the control of his wife.. He put in another clause for his properties and investment to be held in trust for his kids by his best Friend the current Senate President and one of the Chairmen of his company should he pass on with his Wife. He didnt leave any of his estate under the control of his siblings.. Today, his Kids are all living well under the control of their Mum and his wealth profile has not dropped as such. His first son has finished school with an MSc and has been recruited by his fathers company (at entry level o).. ![]() Now the hussle may be for the future generation, but only a fool puts his estate in the hands of a Child. If you dont trust your wife to properly manage your estate, that means you are married to the wrong woman or a reetard.[/b] |

Sometimes, it boils down to the uncertainty of who dies first. What if the wife is next of kin and she dies before the husband or they die together? This is assuming the kids would have a longer life span than the parents. Where a child is made next of kin instead of his mother, at the man's death, the child would make sure he takes care of his mum and in a situation where the woman remarries, he is assured that his 'sweat' is not enjoyed or transferred to another man. |

Last time I checked:: If your your child is under the age of 18, they cant inherit a single thing and in the absence of a Guardian, your estate MAY be taken over by the Government. Now if the Mother is still alive, your estate wold be handed over to the Mother who is the legal guardian of the Minor to hold in trust for the child pending when they reach the legal age of 18.. (so last last, the woman still controls your property)..If the Child is 18+ (meaning youhave been married to the same woman for 18 plus years) and you die and leave her with nothing to live out the rest of her life, rather subjecting a Mother to depending on stipends from her child to survive, then that Man is cursed even beyond the grave.. And what makes you think that the Woman would not marry someone wealthier than the man?! I still maintain that if a Man does not pass on his estate to his wife or leave his wife a sizable portion of his estate for her to live off of, then that marriage should end whilst everyone is still alive so the woman can put her effort into a marriage where she counts. The above suggestion makes the womans contributions in the marriage look trivial.. NOW!! What if the Woman has all the Money and properties, is it okay for her to leave them to her Kids and have her husband live off of the handouts from her kids?![/b] |

And besides, my wife does not need my money to survive. She earns a living and can survive on her salary.Your last question. Simple answer. The average Nigerian man does not want to do the right thing by his wife. Wouldn't you be afraid to give a person you constantly cheat on and humiliate a way to benefit from your misfortune? They would be stupid to do that. So...... |

Someone else besides the husband or wife could be trustee. |
