When do distant relatives inherit
Who inherits if no spouse, children, parents or siblings survive?
When a person dies without a will and he has neither a spouse, children, parents or siblings or descendants of deceased siblings then his property goes to his next of kin like aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
There are articles here and on my blog at www.texasinheritance.com. Use the search function at the top right of this page to search for specific items like aunts, cousins, etc.
