I have checked through the forum & can't see a similar question. Forgive me if I missed it but my question is..........
Is it too late to refuse an inheritance of a house after probate has been granted? The Land Registry forms have not been sent in yet, so is it possible to still refuse the inheritance?
I don't see why not. In a certain (I admit nit-picking) sense, you can't really refuse it before probate has been granted, because the executor is not formally empowered until the Grant.
When a bequest is refused, it becomes part of the residue of the estate, and is dealt with in accordance with the terms of the will; it goes to the residuary legatees.
It's entirely your own business if you want to refuse a bequest. If it's a question of keeping your options open while you consider what to do, it is probably a good idea to let the Executor know so that no avoidable expenses are incurred before you have made your decision.
