Immediate Relatives

Immediate relatives typically refer to a person's closest family members, often including their parents, siblings, spouse, and children. This term is commonly used in legal, immigration, and familial contexts to denote those who have a direct and significant familial connection. In many countries, having immediate relatives can influence legal matters, such as inheritance rights or immigration benefits, as these relationships often invoke particular rights and responsibilities. Immediate relatives are usually prioritized in various processes due to their close emotional and social ties.
