Relinquishment of Inheritance Right is called disclaiming an inheritance, which means you’re turning down or waiving the rights to the assets you were supposed to inherit. There are many reasons to relinquish the inheritance, such as to avoid the tax issues, to let others inherit the properties that should be yours, etc. If you wish to give up all or part of your inheritance rights, you should declare it in writing and then present it to the related agencies.
