Dont want to be part of my father's Will

My father is died and has executed a Will in which he has given the rights to the property to all of us(3 Sons and 1 daugther). My eldest brother, before his marriage, earned the money to buy that property. My elder brother, before his marriage, spent some money to extend the property. As I have not contributed a single penny in buying the property, I don't want to inherit the property. I know i can relinquish my share to my brothers (I believe they deserve the shares) but am hesitating to do, because doing so might hurt my sister. I want to disassociate myself from the Will. Is there a way to that?

Note: It's been 6 months since my father died.

Thanks

Zeus..

When the will comes for probate, file an affidavit in the High Court that you don't want to inherit any part of your father's legacy and that you relinquish your share in favour of whomsoever you want.
