Öröklése

Öröklése is a Hungarian term that translates to "inheritance" in English. It refers to the legal and biological process by which a person receives assets, property, rights, or responsibilities from a deceased individual, known as the deceased or testator. This transmission can occur either through a will, a legally binding document outlining the deceased's wishes, or through intestate succession, which follows predefined legal rules when no will exists. The individuals who stand to inherit are called heirs.

In a legal context, öröklése is governed by specific laws that dictate how estates are distributed. This includes the identification of heirs, the valuation of assets, and the settlement of debts before distribution. The process can be complex, often involving probate courts and legal representatives to ensure all legal requirements are met. Biological öröklése, on the other hand, pertains to the passing of genetic traits from parents to offspring. This is a fundamental concept in genetics, explaining how characteristics like physical appearance and predispositions to certain conditions are inherited. While distinct in their domains, both concepts revolve around the transfer of something from one generation or entity to another.
