Re: I don't want it.

You will need to prepare a disclaimer of inheritance. In general this needs to be completed within 9 months of the death of the deceased donor; however, other time limits may apply. The disclaimer needs to be filed in the county where the administration of the estate has commenced or, if not yet commenced, such should be filed in county where adminstration could be commenced.
