Disclaiming an inheritance is a solemn and express legal process by which the surviving spouse is entitled to renounce the rights and obligations that would become theirs by law or last will resulting in the retroactive revocation of the right to inherit. The reasoning behind such a decision may vary immensely from person to person yet in most cases the drive behind such a choice is reduced to the obligations bound to any inheritance outweighing the advantages it may bring.
