Laws about inheritance vary depending on the country, so check the laws for your specific country. But in general, it should be possible to decline an inheritance - and sometimes it may be to your advantage to decline it, because receiving the inheritance may come along with certain obligations - such as taxes paid on the inheritance, or conditions imposed by the person who leaves you the inheritance.
