Re: trust

Generally, a beneficiary can disclaim his or her share, and it will pass pursuant to the trust. The person disclaiming will be considered to have predeceased for distribution purposes.

If you are asking do you have to collect a distribution, that depends on what the trust says.

The rights of the beneficiary are set forth in the Trust itself. The beneficiary can only do what the trust document allows. John C. Talpos (http://www.Mich-Lawyer.com)
