A waiver of inheritance form is a legal document that allows individuals to voluntarily give up their rights to inherit property or assets from someone who has passed away.
Anyone who is named as a potential beneficiary in a will or by law can use a waiver of inheritance form to decline their right to inherit.
There can be various reasons for someone to use a waiver of inheritance form. It could be because they do not want to accept the responsibilities associated with the inherited assets, they have ample financial resources and prefer to pass the inheritance to others, or they have personal or legal reasons for not wanting to inherit.

A waiver of inheritance form generally requires the individual's full legal name, relationship to the deceased, a statement declaring their intention to waive their rights to inheritance, and the date of signing.
No, once a waiver of inheritance form is signed and legally executed, it is typically irrevocable. It is important to carefully consider the decision before signing the form.
Filing a waiver of inheritance form typically does not involve any fees. However, seeking legal advice or assistance may incur costs depending on the attorney or legal professional.

(a) A person who is an heir, next of kin, devisee, legatee, person succeeding to a disclaimed interest, beneficiary under a testamentary instrument, or appointee under a power of appointment exercised by a testamentary instrument, may disclaim in whole or in part the right of succession to any property or interest in any property, including a future interest, by filing a disclaimer under this subtitle.

A joint tenant or tenant by the entireties may disclaim the entire interest in any property that is the subject of a joint tenancy or tenancy by the entireties if the disclaimant did not join in creating the joint tenancy or tenancy by the entireties and if the disclaimant has not accepted a benefit under the joint tenancy or tenancy by the entireties. A surviving joint tenant may disclaim as a separate interest any property or interest in any property devolving to the disclaimant by right of survivorship. A surviving tenant by the entireties may disclaim as a separate interest any property or interest in any property devolving to the disclaimant by right of survivorship.
(c) Thirty days after delivering or mailing written notice to all interested persons, the attorney-in-fact of a person, or the personal representative of a deceased person, or the guardian of the property of a minor or disabled person, may disclaim on behalf of that person, in whole or in part, the right of succession or transfer to that person of any property or interest in any property. The circuit court, without appointing a guardian, may authorize or direct a disclaimer on behalf of a minor or disabled person pursuant to § 13-204 of this article.

power of appointment, or any right to take as a beneficiary of a discretionary
power to distribute income or principal, shall be treated as an interest
in property.
Article 9, § 9-201.
(a) If the property or interest has devolved to the disclaimant under a testamentary instrument or by the laws of intestacy, the disclaimer shall be filed, if of a present interest, or an entire interest in a joint tenancy or tenancy by the entireties, not later than nine months after the death of the deceased owner or deceased donee of a power of appointment and, if of a future interest, not later than nine months after the event determining that the taker of the property or interest is finally ascertained and that his right to possess or enjoy his interest is indefeasibly vested. Any disclaimer as a separate interest of an interest which otherwise would devolve by right of survivorship made by a joint tenant or tenant by the entireties shall be filed not later than nine months after the death of the deceased joint tenant or deceased tenant by the entireties which determines the disclaimant's right to possess or enjoy that separate interest.
