sabrina disclaims inheritance in Ontario, Canada. 4 years later her brother john gifts sabrina $*, is this still considered consideration under the disclaimer? No written or oral agreement exists
****, in Ontario law, a disclaimer of inheritance means the person renounces their right to the inheritance, and it is generally considered final.

However, legal advice from a professional in Ontario is recommended for a definitive answer.
