As a general rule, any person may serve as next friend of an infant plaintiff, whether he is related or not.[10] The next friend is not the real party in the action. The next friend representing an infant plaintiff is in no sense a party to the action, or has he any interest in the litigation, but the real party plaintiff in the suit is still the infant. Consequently, the process must run in the name of the infant by his next friend, and not in the name of the next friend acting for the infant.[11]
A person's next of kin (NOK) is that person's closest living blood relative or relatives. Some countries, such as the United States, have a legal definition of next of kin. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, next of kin may have no legal definition and may not necessarily refer to blood relatives at all.
