Not necessarily. The effect of a disclaimer is that the disclaiming beneficiary's share will be distributed as if the disclaiming beneficiary pre-deceased the Testator.

I am sorry for your family's loss. I agree with Attorney Prihoda's answer. I recommend you have an attorney review the circumstances and advise. If the share has not yet been disclaimed, then the impact can be evaluated before a final decision is made.
