(b) A disclaimer under (a) of this section takes effect as of the death of the deceased tenant to whose death the disclaimer relates.
(c) The survivorship interest in property held as a tenancy by the entirety and disclaimed by the surviving tenant passes as if the disclaimant had predeceased the tenant to whose death the disclaimer relates.
