Well there is an argument one could make that a marriage that was about 4 hours old would not qualify one to take possession of the deceased’s estate. It wasn’t even consummated.
This has the potential to allow attorneys to keep it going until they are the ones who get the estate. Gotta love the legal (theft) system.
how do you know what they did in the golf cart before the accident? :)
Exactly. They weren't even married a whole day.
The NY Post article explains:
The bride was killed in the accident on April 28. Three days later, on May 1, while the groom was recovering in the hospital, his aunt and uncle brought the signed marriage license and certificate to a probate court and filled out forms. On one form, the aunt wrote that the bride and groom lived together after the marriage (which is a lie because the bride died at her wedding).
