1 What is a disclaimer? A disclaimer is an irrevocable statement that the beneficiary/recipient of an asset does not wish to receive the asset. The disclaimed asset passes as if the disclaimant had predeceased the person transferring the asset.
2 Inheritance under Will or Trust Intestacy Non-probate property Powers of Appointment Jointly owned property Effect of a qualified disclaimer: The disclaimed interest is treated as passing directly from the transferor of the property to the person entitled to receive the property as a result of the disclaimer The person making the disclaimer is not treated as making a gift. If an estate disclaims an interest it would otherwise receive, the decedent's estate does not include the value of the disclaimed property
3 Requirements for Disclaimer : Section 2518(b) and Treasury Reg and 20 Pa.C.S provide the requirements for a qualified disclaimer. If the disclaimer is not a qualified disclaimer, it typically is treated as a gift. The disclaimer must be irrevocable and unqualified The disclaimer must be in writing The writing must be delivered within nine (9) months from the date of death The disclaimant cannot accept any of the interest being disclaimed or any of its benefits The interest disclaimed must pass without any direction on the part of the person making the disclaimer. Specific Rules Commencement of 9 month period from which to make the disclaimer: Lifetime transfers: the transfer creating the interest occurs when there is a completed gift for Federal gift tax purposes, regardless of whether a gift tax is imposed on the completed gift. Transfers at death: the transfer creating the interest occurs on the date of the decedent's death. Nine Month Time Limit - The disclaimer must be filed within nine months after the later of the date on which the transfer creating the interest is made or the date on which the disclaimant attains age twenty-one (federal rule).
4 Acceptance of Interest or its Benefits A qualified disclaimer cannot be made if the disclaimant has accepted the interest or its benefits Acceptance can be either express or implied Acceptance is manifested by an affirmative act which is consistent with ownership of the interest in property Acts indicative of acceptance include using the property or the interest in property; accepting dividends, interest, or rents from the property; and directing others to act with respect to the property or interest in property Taking delivery of an instrument of title, alone, does not constitute acceptance Disclaimed interest must pass without direction of the disclaimant. Exception for surviving spouse in certain cases where it passes to a trust under which the surviving spouse still is a beneficiary, provided access is limited by an ascertainable standard.
5 The regulations provide that the interest of a joint tenant with rights of survivorship or a tenant by the entireties (other than in a bank, brokerage and other investment accounts), regardless of whether it can be unilaterally severed, is deemed to be a one-half interest. This is the case regardless of whether the disclaimant contributed any of the property and regardless of the portion of property includable in the decedent s estate under Reg (c)(4)(I) Special rule for joint bank, brokerage and other investment accounts: Transfer creating the survivor s interest occurs on the death of the deceased cotenant. Therefore, the disclaimer must be made within nine (9) months of the decedent s death. Surviving joint tenant may not disclaim any portion of the joint account attributable to contribution or consideration furnished by that surviving joint tenant
6 Right to Disclaim: The recipients of interests by whatever means can disclaim such interests. Such interests include: a beneficiary under a will an appointee under the exercise of a power of appointment a person entitled to take by intestacy a joint tenant with right of survivorship a donee of an inter vivos transfer beneficiaries of life insurance, annuities, and retirement assets Disclaimer Requirements (PA Law): Must be in writing and shall: describe the interest disclaimed declare the disclaimer and extent thereof; and be signed by the disclaimant (A disclaimer can be made on behalf of another person through the authority contained in a power of attorney or by the personal representative of an estate) Must be delivered and filed in some instances (see below)
7 The acceptance of part of a single interest shall be considered as only a partial acceptance and will not be a bar to a subsequent disclaimer of any part or all of the balance of the interest if the part of the interest is accepted before the expiration of six months from: The death of the decedent in the case of an interest that would have devolved by will or intestacy; or the effective date of the transfer in the case of an interest that would have devolved by an inter vivos transfer or third-party beneficiary contract. The acceptance of a part of a single interest after the expiration of such six-month period shall be considered an acceptance of the entire interest and a bar to any subsequent disclaimer thereof but shall not be an acceptance of any separate interest given under the same instrument.
8 Interests passing through Will or intestacy Inter vivos transfers Assets passing through contractual arrangements Powers of appointment Real Estate Disclaimers by Fiduciaries or Agents Personal Representative if authorized by Will or otherwise requires court approval Guardian of minor Court appointed guardian of incapacitated person if authorized by court Agent under Power of Attorney if power of attorney specifically authorizes
9 72 P.S. 9116(c) provides separate requirements for a disclaimer to be effective for Inheritance Tax Purposes. 9116(c) refers to a renunciation of right to receive a distributive share of an estate, whether under an inter vivos trust, a will or the intestate law for no consideration. The tax shall then be computed as though the persons who benefit by such renunciation were originally designated to be the distributees The renunciation shall be made within nine months after the death of the decedent. Note that 9116(c) applies to the inheritance tax effect of making a disclaimer within 9 months. Ch. 62 of Title 20, addresses the transfer effects when a disclaimer is made. Therefore even though a disclaimer that is made 10 months after death will not be effective for inheritance tax purposes, as long as the requirements of Ch.62 are met, the transfer may be effective for PA purposes. Compare Federal law, which will not recognize a dislcaimer not made within 9 months. For Federal tax law, an untimely disclaimer is instead treated as a gift. There are planning opportunities for disclaimers to pass wealth to younger generation without gifting Consider when death of beneficiary may be within short time of decedent and there is no survivorship provision in Will Be careful making disclaimer if beneficiary is Medicaid recipient or may be applying for Medicaid can cause ineligibility period

See 2035(d)(4).
55 The deferral only applies to an interest in a closely held business and does not apply to passive investments. There are specific objective tests to determine whether the business is closely held. If the IRS denies (or terminates) a 6166 election, the taxpayer has the right to petition the Tax Court for a declaratory judgment under See Rev. Proc , I.R.B The Internal Revenue Service conditions their approval of installment payment of estate taxes pursuant to IRC 6166 on the furnishing of a surety bond under IRC 6165 or the election to have a special lien placed on property that has a value equal to the amount of the deferred tax plus the first four years of deferred interest.
