do you have to accept property willed to you?

Answer 1

No, a beneficiary under a will may disclaim all or any part of the devise. However, the method of disclaimer is strictly regulated by statute. If the statutory requirements are not met, the disclaimer will not be effective. If the disclaimer is not legally effective, you are responsible for any inheritance taxes on the inheritance, whether you take it or not.
Check your state's probate code looking for "disclaimer" statutes.

Answer 2

Actually, the answer is NO. However, that almost never happens. Usually, the person accepts it and immediately reconveys the property through donation or sale. The executor of the will is able to make the decision to whom the property should be allocated, at least in a large # of states. The property may, in a few states, itself be redistributed by probate.

Answer 3

No. But it would be unusual to not do so. Even if one does not want the property oneself, one probably has a notion as to what should be done with it.

Answer 4

No, you can always opt out of a will. But you usually can;t opt of of some of the will.

Example: you can't accept money and then refuse a house...its all or none.
