Disposition of interest disclaimed
Official statutory text
Unless the person by whom the interest was created or from whom
it would have been received has otherwise provided by will or other
appropriate instrument with reference to the possibility of a
disclaimer by the beneficiary, the interest disclaimed shall
descend, be distributed or otherwise be disposed of in the same
manner as if the disclaimant had died immediately preceding the
death or other event which causes him to become finally ascertained
as a beneficiary and his interest to become indefeasibly fixed both
in quality and quantity, and, in any case, the disclaimer shall
relate for all purposes to such date, whether filed before or after
such death or other event. However, one disclaiming an interest in
a nonresiduary gift, devise or bequest shall not be excluded, unless
his disclaimer so provides, from sharing in a gift, devise or
bequest of the residue even though, through lapse, such residue
includes the assets disclaimed. An interest of any nature in or to
the estate of an intestate may be declined, refused or disclaimed as
herein provided without ever vesting in the disclaimant.
