Yes. A form called Rernunciation can be filed with the Surrogate whereby someone entitled to an inheritance can renounce it. The person who benefits must be similarly entitled to receive a share of the estate. So, if both parents are entitled, one can renounce the inheritance in favor of the other. Forms should be available on line at the Surrogate's web site. If you need assistance, contact me directly.
