Was not notified when probate finished. Executor holds the cards. My inheritance of a home that I DO NOT Want. Dad passed June 29 2017..Received papers today that deed was recorded at court.. Please help..Desperate Tennessee Daughter....Too late to disclaim?
A: If you inherited land and don't want it, just sell the land. Perhaps the executor or some other family member would like to have it? Make them an offer. If you were just now notified of the probate proceedings, you probably still have time to disclaim, but unless the property is in terrible shape, it's may be easier to just sell it for a fair price (or maybe less than fair market value, if you are in a hurry to be rid of it). Consult an experienced probate lawyer for specific advice on your situation.
