Holding
The court held that a general property settlement agreement, executed upon divorce and which declares a life insurance policy to be the husband's separate property, does not by itself constitute a renunciation of the ex-wife's beneficiary designation; she remains entitled to the policy proceeds if the insured husband fails to exercise his right to change the beneficiary before his death.
