Re: estate beneficiary

No, just like any gift you don't have to take it.

If you do I suspect the executor will want your refusal in writing.

Re: estate beneficiary

No. A beneficiary has a right to disclaim a bequest within 9 months of the decedent's death so long as no benefits were taken.

I hope this helps!
