Can I Refuse an Inheritance?

Why would anyone want to refuse an inheritance? Although it is surprising to many, there are several circumstances when declining an inheritance can be beneficial. The law does permit you to refuse an inheritance if you comply with certain strict requirements.

my sister died a year ago...when 1 of the sibling heirs refused to accept his estate share, the public admin attorney guardian just told me that he wont be able to sell the house as a result & therefore the 2 remaining sibling heirs only option is to move into the house & be 1/3 owners responsible for maintaining etc. neither of us can move 1000 miles out of state so that probably wont happen.
First question: Is this true ?? frankly i dont believe this.
Second Q: WHY doesnt an heir have a RIGHT to refuse ?? doesnt make sense to me. What is the legal justification for such a law???
Third Q: Will the rest of the estate be affected similarly as well??

I would recommend you contact an attorney in the state where the estate is being handled and get another opinion. There are alot of different issues to be addressed when handling an estate, so speaking to an attorney in that area to review everything would be highly recommended.

This old man says the public administration guardian is incompetent.
