Disclaimer of Fractional Interest
W disclaimed an undivided two-thirds of her interest in a testamentary trust. W made a disclaimer within nine months of the decedent's death and she did not accept or receive any interest or benefit from the trust prior to the disclaimer. The disclaimer was qualified for purposes of §2518(b). As a result, W is not responsible for the transfer of the disclaimed property. The transfer of the disclaimed property to W's children was not subject to gift tax.
