relative's

Belonging to kin

Relative's is the possessive form of relative—a family member connected by blood or marriage.

The apostrophe-s indicates belonging: my relative's house, a relative's opinion.

It can also be possessive of the adjective sense: the theory's relative's merits would be unusual, but Einstein's relative's correspondence refers to letters belonging to Einstein's family member.
