Ok, though I meant in official documents, when sb dies and you´re given some days off if you are a first degree relative or whatever.

Would this be referring to in-laws? mother-in-law, brother-in-law,
nieces/nephew by marriage?

No, we say "grado" to know the kind of proximity of a relative.
My parents and my sons are familiares de primer grado. My brothers and sisters are familiares de segundo grado. My uncles and cousins are familiares de tercer grado. Grado can be for consanguinity or for affinity. My own relatives are for consanguinity. My partner's relatives are for affinity. I mean: my husband's parents are mis familiares de primer grado por afinidad; my own parents are mis familiares de primer grado por consanguinidad. |

Then I misunderstood the OP. This is clearly a Spanish definition, which might be the same in English, but because it has no legal inheritance implications in the UK, I don't know.

Besides the inheritance matters, I have a couple of free days in my job if one of my relatives has a serious illness or passes away. But I only have this permission when the relative is until second degree, I don't in third degree. It's written in the Estatuto de los Trabajadores.
