Legal: Disclaimer of inheritance filed by father in favor of his child

Challenged . . .

My father was the sole beneficiary of his mother's estate. He immediately passed all his mother's estate thru to his only child by means of a "Disclaimer" which he filed with his mother's Will, etc. as the Executor of her estate.

This estate contains mineral and royalty interests.

Is this "Disclaimer" a valid way to inherit mineral interests?

Every state is different, you must provide the name of the state that the will was probated in before anyone can help you.

My father, as Executor, filed his mother's Will, Probate, etc and this "Disclaimer" of inheritance in favor of his child in every County Courthouse where the mineral interests are located in Texas.

Hi, Mack -

I am not an Attorney, but it strikes me as entirely legit.
