2021 Colorado Code|Title 15 - Probate, Trusts, and Fiduciaries|Article 11 - Intestate Succession and Wills|Part 12 - Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act|§ 15-11-1207. Disclaimer of Rights of Survivorship in Jointly Held Property

  Upon the death of a holder of jointly held property, a surviving holder may disclaim, in whole or in part, the incremental portion of the jointly held property devolving to the surviving holder by right of survivorship.    A disclaimer pursuant to subsection (1) of this section takes effect as of the death of the holder of jointly held property to whose death the disclaimer relates.    In the event of a disclaimer pursuant to subsection (1) of this section with only one holder surviving the death of the holder to whose death the disclaimer relates, the incremental portion disclaimed shall, as a consequence of the disclaimer, pass as part of the estate of the deceased holder.    In the event of a disclaimer pursuant to subsection (1) of this section with two or more of the holders surviving the death of the holder to whose death the disclaimer relates:   The disclaimer does not sever the joint tenancy with respect to the jointly held property as among the surviving holders;    The incremental portion disclaimed shall, as a consequence of a disclaimer, devolve to the surviving holders in proportion to their respective interests in the jointly held property excluding the disclaimant and any other surviving holder who disclaims to the extent of his or her disclaimer of the incremental portion;    An incremental portion devolving to a surviving holder, as a consequence of one or more disclaimers, may be disclaimed by the surviving holder;    To the extent that all of the surviving holders disclaim an incremental portion devolving to them, the portion shall instead pass as part of the estate of the deceased holder; and    The proportion of each of the surviving holders with respect to the jointly held property shall be adjusted to take into account the devolution of the incremental portion to the extent that the portion is disclaimed.

  If a holder disclaims a power of appointment or other power not held in a fiduciary capacity, the disclaimer applies only to that holder, and the following rules apply:   If the holder has not exercised the power, the disclaimer takes effect as of the time the instrument creating the power becomes irrevocable;    If the holder has exercised the power and the disclaimer is of a power other than a presently exercisable general power of appointment, the disclaimer takes effect immediately after the last exercise of the power; and    The instrument creating the power is construed as if the power expired when the disclaimer became effective.

If a fiduciary disclaims a power held in a fiduciary capacity that has been exercised, the disclaimer takes effect immediately after the last exercise of the power.

  A disclaimer is barred by a written waiver of the right to disclaim.    A disclaimer of an interest in property is barred if any of the following events occur before the disclaimer becomes effective:   The disclaimant accepts the interest sought to be disclaimed;    The disclaimant voluntarily assigns, conveys, encumbers, pledges, or transfers the interest sought to be disclaimed or contracts to do so; or    A judicial sale of the interest sought to be disclaimed occurs.       A disclaimer, in whole or in part, of the future exercise of a power held in a fiduciary capacity is not barred by its previous exercise.    A disclaimer, in whole or in part, of the future exercise of a power not held in a fiduciary capacity is not barred by its previous exercise unless the power is exercisable in favor of the disclaimant.    A disclaimer is barred or limited if so provided by law other than this part 12.    A disclaimer of a power over property that is barred by this section is ineffective. A disclaimer of an interest in property that is barred by this section takes effect as a transfer of the interest disclaimed to the persons who would have taken the interest under this part 12 had the disclaimer not been barred.    Notwithstanding any other provision in this part 12, this part 12 shall not modify the construction of law or application of law with respect to:   A disqualification of medical assistance benefits under title 25.5, C.R.S., to a disclaimant who is or was an applicant for or recipient of such benefits; or    A recovery from the estate of a deceased recipient of such medical assistance benefits.

 If an instrument transferring an interest in or power over property subject to a disclaimer is required or permitted by law to be filed or registered, the disclaimer may be filed or registered. Failure to file or register the disclaimer does not affect its validity as between the disclaimant and persons to whom the property interest or power passes by reason of the disclaimer, provided, however, that a disclaimer of an interest in real property in which the disclaimant has a recorded interest is not effective and therefore is not valid as between any persons until a copy of the disclaimer is recorded in section 15-11-1212 (15) .
