Who are the immediate relatives?

Question:

Who are the immediate relatives?

Your mother's biological sister. Is she counted as your immediate relative?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No. A person's immediate family is: Spouses, children, parents, and siblings.

When you are a kid, it is your parents, and all the people they are raising. When you become a parent it extends to your spouse and all the people you are raising.

I think the term is getting looser, though, to include anyone in the same household...just as our definition of family is loosening up.
