Átörökít

Átörökít is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to bequeath" or "to pass on" in English. It generally refers to the act of transferring something of value, be it tangible or intangible, from one person or entity to another, typically through inheritance or succession. This can encompass property, assets, debts, or even characteristics and traditions.

The most common context for átörökít is in legal and familial matters, specifically concerning inheritance. When a person passes away, their assets and possessions are átörökít to their heirs according to their will or by law. This can include real estate, money, personal belongings, and other forms of wealth. Beyond material possessions, it can also refer to the passing down of titles, responsibilities, or even certain genetic traits from parents to children.

The verb can also be used in a broader sense. For instance, a cultural heritage or a historical legacy can be considered átörökített from one generation to the next. Similarly, a company might átörökít its business practices or intellectual property to a new management or owner. The core idea remains the transfer of something significant from a predecessor to a successor, implying a continuation or establishment of a new phase based on what was previously held.
