Akaratnyilvánítás

Akaratnyilvánítás is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "declaration of will." It refers to a unilateral act by which an individual expresses their intention to create, modify, or extinguish a legal relationship. This declaration can be made explicitly, through spoken or written words, or implicitly, through conduct that clearly indicates the person's intention. The validity of an akaratnyilvánítás generally depends on the declarant having the legal capacity to act and on the declaration being made freely and without duress or deception.

Akaratnyilvánítás is a fundamental concept in Hungarian civil law and plays a crucial role in various legal transactions, such as contracts, wills, and donations. For example, entering into a contract requires a mutual akaratnyilvánítás from both parties, signifying their agreement to the terms. Similarly, making a will is an akaratnyilvánítás that expresses a person's wishes regarding the distribution of their assets after death. The law requires that such declarations be clear, unambiguous, and made with the intention of producing legal consequences. If an akaratnyilvánítás is found to be defective, it may be deemed invalid, leading to the nullification of the intended legal effect.
