A sad car accident occurred in Zhejiang, in which a woman tragically died. Subsequently, her husband received 1.58 million yuan in compensation, but her parents-in-law came to demand that the money be divided, hoping to take 900,000 yuan of it. This sparked a controversy, with the man suspecting that his parents-in-law intended to use the money to help his brother-in-law buy a house. The father-in-law said that he had raised his wife for 20 years, while her husband had only been with him for 3 years.
First of all, we should express our deep sympathy for the misfortune and loss of this family. It is a heart-wrenching tragedy in which a family has lost its most important member, and the pain and grief felt is indescribable.
The man and his wife met through a friend's introduction, and the two lived happily ever after they got married, and they had a lovely son. However, in an unfortunate car accident, the wife died of her injuries, while the son narrowly escaped. The driver and the insurance company paid a total of 1.58 million yuan in compensation. After receiving the compensation, the man believed that it was his wife's inheritance and deposited it in a fixed account. At this point, we can understand that the husband wants to protect the money as an intangible inheritance left by his wife.
However, the parents-in-law showed up shortly afterwards and demanded that 60% of it, or 900,000 yuan, be distributed among them. The man was suspicious of his parents-in-law's request, believing that they intended to use the money to buy a house for his brother-in-law. At the same time, the man pointed out that his wife also had an unmarried brother, so the father-in-law and the mother-in-law asked for a share of the money to help the brother-in-law buy a house. In addition, Ms. Liu was adopted by her parents-in-law, which made the man think that the money should not be given to her father-in-law and mother-in-law who were not related by blood.
However, the couple indicated that the money could not be kept entirely by the man, on the grounds that the man might remarry and that the property would not be left to their grandchildren. At the same time, they also mentioned that although Ms. Liu was adopted, legally they still have the right to inheritance. There is some justification for these reasons. Uncertainty about marital status may lead to a change in the future ownership of the man, and the older couple has the right to claim inheritance rights for their relatives. However, we also need to take into account that this compensation is not part of the matrimonial property rights, and this question may need to be answered by law.
Since the man believed that the compensation should be completely his own, and the old couple insisted on their right to share, the dispute between the two parties could not be resolved, which eventually led to the intervention of the court.
In this case, the court will be the party to the dispute and an impartial mediator. Taking into account the man's marital relationship with his wife and the welfare of his son, as well as the old couple's claim to Ms. Liu's parenting and legal inheritance, the court should conduct a fair hearing and make a final decision in accordance with the relevant legal provisions.
Ultimately, we hope that the court's decision will fairly balance the rights and interests of both parties and try to achieve reasonable satisfaction for both parties. Regardless of the outcome, it is hoped that this tragic family can get out of the predicament as soon as possible, rebuild their lives, and find a reasonable and acceptable solution to the death of their wife.
