Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

If your in probate and you're named beneficiary in an estate, and you do not want your gift that a loved one left you, can you give it away, while you're in probate? How does that work? Just tell an attorney? Thank you.

If you disclaim your inheritance-it will be distributed as if you were deceased.

You can receive it-then gift as you please.
