[News] Iretiola Doyle offers advice on what to take into account when choosing your next of kin

Iretiola Doyle has advised people on the most important thing to take into account when deciding on who to make their next of kin.

She said ‘next of kin’ shouldn’t be chosen based on who you want to inherit your belongings, instead it should be based on who you trust to make life and death decisions on your behalf.

She tweeted: ‘When filling the blank space for “NEXT OF KIN”, let yr first thought not be “who will inherit my stuff”.

‘Let it be “who is the one person I would want making life & death decisions on my behalf should I be unable to do so for myself.” E get why.’
