Please explain exactly what you mean by "waive survivorship" in your matter.

His Thrift Savings Plan. So he could draw more money monthly after he retires as opposed to me getting pension payments should he die.

There really is no way we can guess at what you signed and the implications of your signing. You should speak to an attorney.

Good advice. Thank you.

Waiving survivorship rights are distinct from a general transmutation ofcommunity property. However, your statements are fairly vague, so I'd have to side with Zig that you should take what you signed (and your entire marital situation) to an attorney.
