hozzátartozását

Hozzátartozását is a Hungarian term referring to the status, rights, and duties connected to a person’s next of kin or close relatives. The noun hozzátartozás means belonging, affiliation, or kinship; hozzátartozó refers to a relative or dependent. In official and everyday language, hozzátartozását denotes the status or rights of relatives, especially in legal, medical, or administrative contexts.

The concept is widely used in several areas. In healthcare, hospitals and doctors may inform and consult the patient’s hozzátartozását when the patient cannot communicate, and the closest relatives may have priority to be informed or to give consent if no other arrangement exists. In civil law and inheritance, close relatives can have priority in procedures or as potential beneficiaries. In social security and insurance, the term appears in contexts where relatives must be notified or may exercise certain rights related to benefits. In guardianship and care, hozzátartozását can define who has the legal authority to act for a person lacking decision-making capacity.

The exact scope and order of who counts as a hozzátartozó, and what rights or duties this status entails, depend on specific laws and regulations in Hungary, such as the Civil Code and health care provisions. The phrase is common in formal documents, notices, and administrative language, where precise identification of a person’s relatives is important for information flow, consent, and decision-making.
