If the the effect of the disclaimer is that the disclaimant is treated as predeceasing the testator, will the property pass to the heirs of the disclaimant as opposed to the residuary estate? The dispositive language of the will reads as follows:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class=""><u class="">Bequest of Condominium</u>.
