My first thought is YES! Your Aunt probably falls into the category of 'other descendants'. I do not know what your state says on the topic, though I see you are in MD. Disclosure is always the best and safest way to go.

There's no reason not to. An aunt is a pretty close relative, even if it's not specifically included. I'm an aunt to a couple of people I might as well be a mother to. There's definitely a bias.

When things go wrong folks ALWAYS look for someone else to blame. ANY appearance of covert activity will put this agent in the cross-hairs.
Best to be Overt in who you represent, how and any relationship.
Otherwise you need to hear 'Clintwood's' words, "Are you feeling lucky today?"

Disclosure, Disclorue, Disclosure. I would do it anyway, because it is still a relative, although not immediate. It's call CYA!!

when I was actively listing property, I disclosed everything that could cause a potential buyer to change his/her mind about buying.... and I've never been to court or had any issues... I like to sleep at night.

When in doubt, disclose. "Other descendants" covers a lot of territory and is not the same as "immediate family". Better safe than sorry.

not licensed in Maryland, and not an attorney but it seems that the language you included of "the REALTORS®'s spouse and their siblings, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, and other descendants." would include an Aunt as an "other descendant" of a parent or grandparent.

Our state law requires we must disclose "first degree of consanguinity" (parents, spouse, or child); however, I don't know of anyone getting into trouble for over dislcosing.
