Just Got Married, Husband Won't Sign Finance Documents For Beneficiary

Card image cap

Location: Florida. I just got married a month ago. I have 2 kids l've always had as my beneficiary since l've had them, in case anything ever happened to me. as I was going through updating finance documents for mail change, etc, I was told that because I now have a spouse, they are automatically my beneficiary for bank, Robinhood stocks, and 401k. UNLESS he signs a document and we get it notarized saying that he waives that and my kids will be the beneficiary. So I asked him "I would like to update my financial info since everything now automatically goes to you, I would like it to revert back to my kids" ...he then went into this whole thing on how I don't trust him and he would never take anything from my kids and at then end just flat out refused. Does he actually need to sign anything or can I put things in place myself? What if he refuses to sign anything?

This is something we spoke about and agreed upon (as a prenup) but everything was so crazy with the wedding that it completely slipped my mind.

My kids are 16 and 7. I’m the sole guardian for my 16 year old.
