I can't believe how focused my brain is on trying to find the inverse of "inherit" (not disinherit! I'm not talking about the opposite action; I'm talking about the action in the reverse direction).

I'm not sure there is a word for it because... things don't work that way.

A child inherits from their parent; the parent _ to the child.

Perhaps, amusingly, the best analogue is chimerism: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientists-discover-childrens-cells-living-in-mothers-brain/ such as when the cells of a child are passed to the parent during gestation. So perhaps something like "chimerization"?
