You need to be careful in how you handle this. If you "disclaim" your rights, then it is effectively treated as if you pre-deceased the decedent, which then causes your son to potentially step into your shoes. The actual results are dictated by the Will, and potentially other factors.

To properly address how to properly arrive at your desired outcome, requires substantially more facts. I would be happy to discuss in detail via a variety of mediums. I engage in immigration and international law, and our firm is accustomed to dealing with clients that are not located in this country.
