Here’s what you can do to address your concern about waiving rights to insurance proceeds in your marital settlement agreement:
1. Review the Agreement
- Carefully read through the entire agreement to identify any clauses related to waiving rights to insurance proceeds. Make sure you understand the implications of these clauses.
2. Communicate with Your Attorney
- If you have legal representation, discuss your concerns with your attorney. They can provide guidance on how to amend the agreement to reflect your wishes.
3. Propose an Amendment
- You can propose an amendment to the agreement that specifically states you do not waive your rights to insurance proceeds. This can be done by drafting a new clause or modifying the existing one.
4. Negotiate with the Other Party
- Engage in discussions with the other party involved in the agreement. Explain your position and why you wish to retain your rights as a beneficiary.
5. Seek Mediation if Necessary
- If negotiations become difficult, consider seeking mediation. A neutral third party can help facilitate a resolution that satisfies both parties.
6. Finalize the Agreement
- Once all parties agree on the changes, ensure the amended agreement is properly documented and signed by all involved.

Got it, thanks for sharing that. Could you let me know which state you’re in? Also, are you currently in the process of negotiating or drafting this marital settlement agreement?
In my paperwork, it is waiving those rights, but I don't want to do that.
Georgia.
Yes.
Drafting.

You can just draft a new agreement and omit that waiver. I understand your concern. Are you currently negotiating the terms of this agreement, or is it already drafted and ready for signing?
Already drafted.

You just don’t want to sign anything that indicates a waiver. You should draft a new document or amend the present version.
Thank you.
