Hence those who have no son or daughter should determine beforehand , as per the order listed above , the persons(karthas) who should perform the karma after his death.

It is important that one should determine the person who will do the karma as their heir apparent . by transfering his weath and properties to the kartha well in advance and should be known to others also.

There is no restriction. One can make anybody his/her heir.But one must select a person after determining the person's abilities , committment and sincerity for performing aparakarmas and sratha ceremonies every year. that person will be called ABHIMAANA PUTHRAN,

While selecting the kartha the order of precedence should be maintained.and sequentially the elimination should happen before the kartha is selected.

If the kartha is not selected in the above order , the samskarams performed by the kartha is futile and it does not reach the pithrus..

It is the duty of all to make sure that we do the final rites and the subsequent ceremonies to the deceased so that the jeevan attains peace in the heavenly abode.
 
if the first son is hospitalized due to accident then the second or third son is allowed. if the first son is in states so he cannot come immediately due to corono virus or any other srike problem then the other son is eligible.

I understood this too - other sons are allowed in rare, unchangeable circumstances only. There is a handover of the kartha permanently in very specific instances, but otherwise fruits reach the pithru only if the valid Kartha does the rituals.

There is no mention of other sons or sons-on-law on above list at all!
