When an inheritance would burden the person it names, Vermont law permits a refusal, and the refusal does not wait for the beneficiary's own signature. A court-appointed guardian or conservator may disclaim an interest in property on behalf of the person under guardianship or protection, and this Vermont Disclaimer of Interest form prepares that refusal in the representative configuration: one protected person named as disclaimant, one guardian or conservator signing, and the appointing court, docket number, and appointment date recited on the face of the document.
A refusal signed in a representative capacity
Vermont's Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act, 14 V.S.A. chapter 83, opens with the grant of authority this form is built around: a person, or the representative of a deceased, incapacitated, or protected person, to whom property devolves by whatever means, may disclaim it in whole or in part. The renunciation operates with a legal fiction rather than a conveyance. Under 14 V.S.A. § 1954, the disclaimed interest devolves as if the disclaimant had predeceased the decedent, and the disclaimer relates back for all purposes to the date of death, so the refused inheritance passes directly to whoever stands next under the will or the intestacy statutes and never passes through the protected person's hands.
Nine months and three destinations
Section 1952 supplies the clock and the mechanics. A disclaimer of a present interest devolving under a will or by intestacy is delivered not later than nine months after the death, in person or by registered or certified mail, to the personal representative or other fiduciary, the holder of legal title, or the person next entitled to the property. A copy is filed in the Probate Division of the Superior Court where the estate proceedings have been commenced. And when real property is disclaimed, § 1952(e) directs that a copy be recorded in the land records of the town where the property lies; Vermont records land instruments by town and city rather than by county, and the statewide recording fee is $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. § 1671. The form prints on letter size pages with the top of the first page reserved for the clerk's recording information.
What the guardianship configuration carries
The form runs seven numbered sections: the protected person as disclaimant; the guardian or conservator with the appointing court, docket number, and order date; the origin of the interest, naming the deceased owner, the date of death or the effective date of the instrument, and the will, intestacy, or contract under which the interest devolves; the property, with the municipal town line that controls the recording office, the legal description, and the street address; the extent of the disclaimer, whole or a defined portion, as § 1951 permits; the operative disclaimer language, including the statements addressing the statutory bars of § 1955 and the qualified disclaimer statement that § 1952(c) and 26 U.S.C. § 2518 contemplate; and a single signature block for the representative. The acknowledgment certificate follows the Vermont statutory short form for a representative capacity, 26 V.S.A. § 5368(2), with a commission number line reflecting the certificate contents listed in 26 V.S.A. § 5367. The protected person carries no signature line on this document. An adult refusing an inheritance personally, or the representative of a deceased person disclaiming for an estate, presents a different recital pattern from the guardianship recital this form carries. An elder under guardianship whose late sibling's farmhouse would arrive with carrying costs the guardianship budget cannot hold presents the pattern this disclaimer recites.
Binding once delivered
Section 1954(c) makes the disclaimer binding on the disclaimant and everyone claiming through or under the disclaimant, and the Vermont Supreme Court has treated a delivered disclaimer as revocable only in limited circumstances. The statute also polices conduct before signing: under § 1955, accepting the property or a benefit under it, transferring or contracting to transfer it, or waiving the right to disclaim in writing bars the refusal. The disclaimer likewise chooses no recipient; the interest devolves to the next takers the law supplies.
The download includes the disclaimer of interest as a fillable PDF, a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section and the delivery, probate filing, and town recording steps, and a completed example showing the document filled in for a realistic Windsor County fact pattern. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; a Vermont attorney can address how chapter 83 operates on a particular estate or guardianship.

Our home was in only my husband’s name and as we are getting older, it was time to add my name to the Deed to avoid potential issues in the future. Our experience with Deeds.com was wonderful. The website is user friendly, instructions written in layman’s terms, straightforward and easy to follow. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend using Deeds.com.
Thank you for the kind words Cindy. We appreciate you. Have an amazing day!

I was disappointed in the form received. The language was not clear and for the price, one would think we would receive a Word version rather than a PDF.
Sorry to hear of your struggle Traci. We have canceled your order and payment. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

Convenient yes, expensive "big YES" and with what I paid to record a lien it cost me close to $50. That seems quite exorbitant in my estimation!!
