Legal Battle Ensues Between Grieving Groom and Mother-in-Law Over Estate of Bride Killed on Wedding Night

The groom whose bride was killed by a suspected drunk driver on their wedding night is now in a legal battle with his mother-in-law over control of his deceased wife's estate. The mother is even contesting the validity of the marriage. The bride was killed in a collision as they left their wedding reception. The mother claims her daughter would have wanted her to receive a share of the inheritance, while the groom's attorney argues that he has been generous and accuses the mother of dishonoring her daughter's wishes. The groom has offered a settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit, but the mother's attorney claims it is a "money grab." The drunk driver is facing charges of reckless vehicular homicide and felony DUI.
