                              (A) the day on which the transfer                       
                              creating the interest in such person is                 
                              made, or                                                
                              (B) the day on which such person attains                
                              age 21,                                                 
                         (3)  such person has not accepted the                        
                    interest or any of its benefits, and                              
                         (4)  as a result of such refusal, the

                    of the person making the disclaimer and passes                    
                    either--                                                          
                              (A) to the spouse of the decedent, or                   
                              (B) to a person other than the person                   
                              making the disclaimer.

               Decedent's compliance with section 2518(b)(3) is not at                
          issue in this case because there is no evidence that decedent,              
          acting in his personal capacity, accepted any of the assets in              
          dispute or the income paid thereon.

               Section 2518(b)(4) requires that the interest in property              
          disclaimed pass without any direction on the part of the
