Just saw this recently with relative.
Mother died leaving everything to husband/father of the kids. Some of the property was placed in a trust under terms of her will for husband with kids as beneficiaries after the old man departs us.
In order to go through probate, your exact situation had to be accomplished. Attorney for executor contacted the kids informing them of their interest. But he actually gave them the trust and will documents
The claim was that is was more expedient than presenting the conundrum to the probate judge and waste hours on attorney fees only to get to the same place eventually.
It sounds like you are a beneficiary but not until someone else expires. The problem for you if you give up rights now then if WSM doesn't put you in her will, this asset will not pass to you.
Just my thoughts and without seeing the docs please don't take this as legal advice. You really should get the documents and have a competent estate attorney to look at them.
