Refusal to accept inheritance may be revoked within the period established for its acceptance in accordance with Article 1270 of the Civil Code of Ukraine.

A period of six months is established for the acceptance of the inheritance, which starts from the time of opening the inheritance.

If a person's right to inheritance depends on the non-acceptance of the inheritance or the refusal to accept it by other heirs, the deadline for his acceptance of the inheritance is set at three months from the moment the other heirs reject the inheritance or refuse to accept it.

If the remaining term is less than three months, it is extended to three months.
