More details to this question:
It would actually be detremental to me to accept my inheritance so I want to have my name removed from the will and replace it with two other relatives names who would split my share. Could this be done? My mother would be dissapointed that she couldnt leave me money. Could it be done after her death if I am fully open and do not contest the will.?

You can disclaim your interest in your mother's estate, but then you would be treated as having predeceased your mother and then your share would pass under the provisions of the will. You would not have a say in who got your share.
Alternatively, you could take your share of the inheritance and then gift it to whomever you like. You may have to file a gift tax return, but you probably won't owe a gift tax.
