Re: executor of will
You can disclaim an inheritance within 9 months of the date of someone's death. If you do this, the inheritance goes to the "next in line." This would depend on what the will says--you have no say in directing the inheritance.
Before you disclaim, though, check with an attorney who will review your debts, because some types of debts do not allow you to disclaim the inheritance.

I think you need to talk to a tax lawyer about your tax problem and a family lawyer about your child support problem. Try posting your message on the tax and family law bulletin boards.
