My Grandmother purchased a home with her long time partner but he has passed away. I wanted to know if his brothers and sisters have any rights to the home after the death of her long time partner in puerto rico.

Puerto Rico have some laws that sometimes I don't even understand. Now, a friend of mine is going through this same situation, and yes his sisters and brothers are "entitled" to a portion of the property.
If your grandmother can pay them off, this would be great. Unfortunately, the brothers and sisters can legally have her sell the property for them to get the share.
You know, I am latina, but, their is one thing that I cannot stand; people coming out of the wood works when they haven't even had a sweat in a land.
Hopefully, your grandmothers partner left a will. If he didn't then I suggest for your grandmother to get an attorney in PR as soon as possible.

If the deceased did not will his interest to your grandmother then the beneficiary under his will or heirs at law if he had no will have an interest in the home, correspopnding with the deceased's interest. Probate in Puerto Rico is under the Civil Code and can be complicated, so I suggest you investigate what is being done in the probate court where the land is located.

The one thing I do know is that the law is different in every state of the U.S. and most likely it is that way in Puerto Rico as well.
You need a lawyer or try Google. Or go to Barnes and Noble and see if they have a book on Law in Puerto Rico.

If they purchased the home in their names then chances are (depending on parochial law) that community law exists. That being the case the home would be divided equally amongst survivors. Knowing the little that I know about your particular case I would say yes.
However, you may want to check to see how the home was titled. And then consult local law. It also depends on whether the estate belongs to a regular will or whether it's part of another legal entity. I'm assuming that they failed to set it up in another legal entity.

In the U.S., it depends on how the deed was drawn originally, and whether her partner had a will. There are various ways of owning property. If they held ownership with the right of survivorship, the surviving partner now owns the property. But if they owned it as "tenants in common", the partner's share may pass to his legal heirs unless he specified otherwise in a will.

If the partner didn't have a will naming your Grandmother as inheriting his property, then anyone in his family can put a claim on any of his property.

It depends on what his will read. If he leaves his interest in the property to his siblings then she will have to purchase their monetary interests in the home. If he left it to her than there shouldn't be any problem. If there is no will then it may have to be settled by the courts.

It depends on how they wrote the deed. You need to take her deed to a real estate attorney or even a real estate agent and they will tell you how it will work.

If he was listed on the loan and deed, and he wasn't married to her, then his beneficiaries are entitled to his part of the house as an inheritance. If it was all in her name, it is hers.
