Who are the "nearest relatives"?
There is a list of relatives in the Dependent Adults Act. They are in order of precedence:
- husband or wife;
- son or daughter;
- father or mother;
- brother or sister;
- grandfather or grandmother;
- grandson or granddaughter;
- uncle or aunt;

Generally, in each class, the oldest person (e.g., the oldest child in a family) will take precedence.
