Spanish term or phrase: (parientes) ascendientes y desciendentes en línea directa, en primer grado
Can someone please decipher this obnoxious legalese for what is probably quite a simple concept?

  -> Thanks, Jennifer. Perhaps "first-degree" covers the "direct" part. I agree with the asker that its "obnoxious" terminology but based my answer on a translation I did where they went on and on about ascending, descending, collateral lines. Horrible!
