A tricky predicament...my daughter is incarcerated, while in jail, her husband totaled her vehicle.
The vehicle is registered in her name only, but he has paid the insurance. The vehicle is not tagged. He had the accident stating someone ran him off the road and left the scene. He was intoxicated and his blood alcohol level was found to be well above the legal limit. He states that he knows the officer that attended the accident scene and that he shouldn't face charges related to the DUI. He was injured, not seriously, but enough that he cannot work. He has difficulty holding a job. Now he is claiming that HE should receive the insurance claim money. It should be enough to pay off the car loan and put money in his pocket to spend any way he chooses. My question is: can he legally receive this money without my daughter's written approval? I think the he is not entitled without her OK
