[WSBARP] Can An Heir Be Forced To Accept A P.R. Deed From An Non-Intervention Estate Over The Heir's Objection?

[Jeanne Dawes]

Rob,

If it is within 9 months of date of death, heir may disclaim gift.  If it’s been longer than 9 months, heir may assign interest in estate to another.  An assignment would be considered a gift.

Subject: [WSBARP] Can An Heir Be Forced To Accept A P.R. Deed From An Non-Intervention Estate Over The Heir's Objection?

Never had a situation before where an heir refused to accept issuance of a personal representative's deed for valuable real estate.  Off-the-cuff I don't think the heir can be forced to accept the deed, but there might be some case law out there to the contract.  Setting aside the obvious that the objecting heir would not sign the Reeta.

Thank you.
