When the time comes for you to inherit, you would file and serve a renunciation of the inheritance. It is a volluntary act of renouncing your right to any inheritance and relinquishing your rights under the will. Your portion would then go to the next in line or be distributed as if you predeceased the decedent - whatever the document provides. You do not do anything right now if the person is still alive. It is premature until the death of the person who has named you as a beneficiary.

While renunciation may have advantages, before you do it I would suggest seeing an attorney
