15 GCA § 761: Restriction on Making Disclaimer; Acceptance by Beneficiary; Exception.
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 15: Estates and Probate
- Division 1 - Wills
- Chapter 7: Testamentary Additions to Trusts, Life Insurance and Other Trusts; Bequests to Minors; Disclaimer of Testamentary and Other Interests
- ARTICLE 4: DISCLAIMER OF TESTAMENTARY AND OTHER INTERESTS
A disclaimer may not be made after the beneficiary has accepted the interest to be disclaimed. An acceptance does not preclude a beneficiary from thereafter disclaiming all or part of any interest to which be became entitled because another person disclaimed an interest and of which interest the beneficiary or person able to disclaim on his behalf had no knowledge. For the purposes of this Article, if a disclaimer has not theretofore been filed, a beneficiary has accepted an interest if he, or someone acting on his behalf,
(a) makes a voluntary assignment or transfer of, or contract to assign or transfer, the interest or part thereof, or
(b) executes a written waiver of the right to disclaim the interest, or
(c) sells or otherwise disposes of the interest or any part thereof pursuant to judicial process.
