Hozzáttartozó

Hozzáttartozó is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "dependent" or "relative" in English, referring to individuals who have a close personal or familial connection to another person, particularly in legal and administrative contexts. This relationship often implies a degree of mutual obligation, support, or entitlement, depending on the specific legal framework.

In Hungarian law, the concept of hozzáttartozó is crucial in areas such as inheritance, social security benefits, tax law, and criminal proceedings. For instance, in inheritance matters, certain relatives are recognized as having preferential rights to inherit. In social security, a person's eligibility for benefits may be influenced by the income or status of their hozzáttartozó. Tax regulations might also differentiate between income earned by an individual and that of their close relations for purposes of assessment or deductions.

The specific individuals who qualify as hozzáttartozó are usually defined by law and can include spouses, children, parents, and sometimes siblings or other ascendants and descendants. The exact scope of this definition can vary depending on the context of the legislation. The existence of a hozzáttartozó relationship can trigger specific rights and responsibilities, such as the obligation to provide care or financial support, or conversely, the right to receive such support or benefits. It is a term that underpins many aspects of personal and family law within Hungary, ensuring that legal frameworks acknowledge and regulate these fundamental human connections.
