This will not violate your discharge. As this inheritance became available during the bankruptcy, it is an asset that should still belong to your creditors.
Now your trustee should have contacted the lawyer involved and when the money is paid out it should be paid out to the trustee who in turn will distribute it to your creditors, but you will still remain discharged.
So the best thing to do is to contact your trustee and they will assist you from there.
