Find next sibling at the same level if exists

I'm curious whether is it possible to get next sibling only when is there some in the same level.

<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Current:</b>
        90
        <b>Increment : </b> 5<br>
        <b>End Date/Time : </b>06/08/2015 21:00<br>
        <b>Last Made at : </b><font size="1"><br></font>
<font ....

So the point is that sometimes there is a text after Last Made at : </b> but sometime there is not.

I do this:

soup.find('b',text='Last Made at : ').next_sibling

The problem is that if there is not another sibling after </b> tag, it returns some data from another <font> tag which I don't want.

I know that it would be possible to use font.contents but in my case would be the better option something like 

`tag.next_sibling_in_the_same_level_or_None`

I didn't find the option so I'm asking whether is there something which could help me in this case.

is the last you do not want? if so see these. infact, the last is the sibling of the .you can prettify and print ,and you will see.

<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">
 <b>
  Current:
 </b>
 90
 <b>
  Increment :
 </b>
 5
 <br>
  <b>
   End Date/Time :
  </b>
  06/08/2015 21:00
  <br>
   <b>
    Last Made at :
   </b>
   <font size="1">
    <br/>
   </font>
   **<font>
    not need
   </font>**
  </br>
 </br>
</font>

if you html is 

<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Current:</b>
        90
        <b>Increment : </b> 5<br>
        <b>End Date/Time : </b>06/08/2015 21:00<br>
        <b>Last Made at : </b><font size="1"><br></font>  
**</font>**
<font ....

then,i think you will not get the last .
