UK, Ireland / Inheritance Law in Poland and debts - how does it affect a British child? [27]

I have a similar situation. It is very stressful. Husband is Polish and has been summoned to court about his uncle's debts. His sister and aunt have been summoned too. He has just started a new job and it will be very difficult for him to make it to Poland for the court case. I was reading that a person has 6 months from the date they become aware of the death to refuse the inheritance. His uncle died Over a year ago so is it too late for him to fill in the form to refuse it now? Or can he still sign this form and send to the court to tell them he is refusing it even though it is more than 6 months now.
