Pardon me, but your words were "signing off",
not the presentment of the deed in question
for recordation, with the representations, documents, fees, etc. attending that process in which a grantee of course must participate. But that clarification would still not address my contentions relative to the compulsion of/ declination by
any grantee (not the instant deed and the parties to it.
And why might I wonder about such "off-topic"-
I would disagree!- concerns?
Because I would have advised M1 not to touch this property with a barge pole!
Kindly refer to the "Aside:", infra.

I contended, and still do, that she could not have been be compelled to take, noting in the same post that, were this grantee's decision, she's be well-advised to make a record of THAT in the appropriate registry(its).
Never did I ask whether or not in this case the grantee declined the grant; rather, I was soliciting advice/opinion(s) from our learned membership as to whether such a declination/refusal to take deeded real estate - being the free choice of a sole/third party grantee - was/could ever/anywhere be "legally objectionable". And that's it.

With
resounding member silence the response to my hypo, I'm comfortable concluding my initial inclination was/is the proper one. This being, succinctly, modestly...
"At its onset, no grantee may be compelled to receive a deed of real estate, nor may said grantee's refusal to receive it be presumed legally objectionable."
NB svp.:
Perverted/convoluted hypos from the readership purporting to discredit the foregoing, I
would like to entertain, provided these, a my own, are
succinct and simple
Aside:
Were I this particular grantee, as recited above, I would have taken every precaution to avoid even grazing Grandmother Morphew's home with a barge pole. In post
s (pl.) that follow -
I hope! - I try to set out some imaginative, but not-too-strained rationale for
M1's avoiding entanglement in Matters Morphew. Yeah, a touch late, as helpfully shared with us by
@Seattle1, but not very many worrisome situations prove irretrievably so.
I tried keying to (1) what we believe we already appreciate about this sad affair, (2) elemental human nature, as it may manifest itself with our characters, (3) practicalities, (4) likelihoods, (4) logic, (5) common sense, and so forth.
Likely, I missed a bunch of factors/variables, which perhaps shall spur your own notions of the best, attainable outcomes for Mallory and Macy.
Thank you for your forbearance here.
