Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

First, remember that no one is an "heir" until the owner ("testator") dies. That's because things can change.

However, an heir can "disclaim" their inheritance, meaning that they refuse to take it.

But the effect of this is to let their own children take the inheritance instead of the parent. So the inheritance woudl skip the parent who disclaims his inheritance.

I don't know what you mean "becasue of sibling rivalry, though"
