Those who have a direct or collateral family relationship with the person with a disability up to and including the third degree, as well as the spouse or those who are in their care under guardianship or foster care , provided that the person with a disability is designated as the sole and irrevocable beneficiary for any contingency.

By express legal provision contained in article 53.3 of the Personal Income Tax Law , the contributions made by the people mentioned in letter b) are not subject to Inheritance and Donation Tax.
