Check into the "common law marriage" laws in you state. Don't mess around getting answers from this forum, get a lawyer.
Don't believe a word from his family until a lawyer clarifies the laws to you and presents you with options.
Funny thing though, marriage would have eliminated so many of these issues, and raising children in a bf/gf relationship doesn't provide for much security, emotional or financial. Had you been married you would be entitled to Social Security benefits, possibly any insurance benefits resulting from his employment and home owners insurance.
It amazes me that any mature adult would risk the future of children by simply shacking up. I know that sounds harsh, but is it any more harsh than the situation you now find yourself in?

Yes you have some rights it is called common law marriage. BUT. With no will his 19 year old son will get everything. The only one that can tell you to leave is his son and no one else.
Even if married without a will everything goes to the blood line. Which even if you were his wife the children would get everything.
Wills are very important you never know when the worse can happen.
Sorry that you lost your boyfriend.

You need to get yourself an attorney to guide you and avise you in this matter. The only one of concern in the matter is you since he was not the father of your children.
Most states have statutes relating to common law marriage. Most that I have come across are based on the couple living as husband and wife for a specified period of time. The only catch that may be there is that somewhere along the line you have to have stated publicly that you are man and wife.
Get a good attorney and don't wait, give him/her time to do all the research they need to help you with this.
Good luck.

You may have a claim under Common Law Marriage. Depending on the state you live in. In Pennsylvania I think it's 5 years. His son has a claim to his fathers estate too. When you have your day in court, explain to the Judge the truthful situation. See what happens. Good Luck!

Check the law where you live as in some states, living together for more than 7 years is considered a common law marriage.
Unfortunately your two children will not factor in anywhere, only you.
Get a lawyer.

Under the law, you have the right of comon law marriage, depending on what state you live in. Get an attorney is my suggestion. A person who has none, would be a fool at this point.
You could win the house.

best advise I can give is ask a lawyer because no matter what we tell you it may not be accurate enough for your needs. Usually next of kin and family will have rights in this case but if you have no proof that you were in a common law relationship there may not be much that can be done.. so seek counsels advise and good luck. Sorry to hear about your lose.

How develop into his resources settled-?

After that a lot time has elapsed without interest on the account, the money might want to have lengthy previous to the state as unclaimed resources (a minimum of the following in California.) a number of my mom's funds managed to slide previous the court docket settlement procedure or perhaps as to the state. ( i found this even as checking on-line for unclaimed funds held by employing the state.) So I despatched a replica of her will and educate of my id to the state controller (i imagine-?) on my own with educate that all resources taxes were before paid and they decrease me a examine (with interest) for the quantity they'd on carry. final analysis if there develop into something contained in the account, you're in basic terms entitle to it, in case you've been in line to inherit something after he died. If countless heirs initially chop up up your uncle's resources, then each and every might want to get a corresponding percentage now.

If the state you live in recognizes common law marriages you may be able to take them to court. Otherwise there is nothing you can do.
