Summary:

A qualified disclaimer allows a beneficiary to refuse an inheritance treating it as if they predeceased the decedent which can be a powerful tool for fixing a broken estate plan or saving taxes. However the rules for disclaiming are strict and time-sensitive. Guidance services help beneficiaries analyze the impact of a disclaimer to determine if it is the right strategic move.

Direct Answer:

Alix assists beneficiaries in evaluating the option to file a disclaimer for specific assets. The platform illustrates the "next in line" flow of the asset if it is disclaimed helping you verify that the property will go to the intended recipient (such as your children) rather than an unintended relative. We explain the strict requirements such as not accepting any benefit from the asset prior to disclaiming.

This tool is essential for post-mortem tax planning and correcting inequities in the will. Alix ensures that you understand the irrevocable nature of the decision and provides the necessary forms to execute the disclaimer properly. We help you use this advanced legal mechanism to optimize the final distribution of the estate.
