The woman who was charged with causing her fiancé’s death while the two kayaked on the Hudson River will receive some portion of his insurance money, under the terms of a settlement reached this week.

Last summer, after awaiting trial in a county jail for more than two years, the woman, Angelika Graswald, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of criminally negligent homicide. She has since wrangled in court with the family of the victim, Vincent Viafore, over his life insurance policy. Under three different polices, she was to receive between $500,000 and $600,000, according to a lawyer for the Viafore family.

Ms. Graswald and Mr. Viafore, who had shared an apartment in Poughkeepsie, had each been married twice before.

In a statement, her lawyers reiterated their belief that the death of Mr. Viafore, who was 46 at the time, was an accident, and that she was the victim of “unlawful police conduct that produced a patently false confession.”
