What happens to a USDA loan when someone dies?

I will tell you that you should not be worried about the loan. You need to properly probate the property and have it appropriately titled. Until it is titled correctly the property can't be sold. You may have issues with not being the owner if you rent it out etc.

Can your legal fees be recovered in a contested Will case if you win in court?

Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
You don't really give me enough information to answer your question completely. Are you dads second spouse? The grounds for challenging a will are sometimes pretty difficult to prove. The most common ground undue influence. Visit be especially hard to prove against the spouse unless it could be proved that she convinced her husband, through her actions, to marry her with the ultimate goal being only to inherit his estate. This would be extremely difficult to prove especially if they had been married any period of time. As to whether or not you could recover your attorney fees this is something you'll have to discuss with the lawyer that represent you in the will contest lawsuit. Generally speaking, it would be up to the trial court to award attorney fees to the party that wins.

What options do I have if someone I have been living with for years dies?

If you are not in a legally-recognized marriage or living in a state that still recognizes common-law marriage (most dont), you need to get a number of documents written as soon as possible. As it is, you would not have the right to visit your fiance in the hospital, live in any property he owns, or have access to his finances if he was unable to speak for himself. Any living relative of your fiance would have legal priority in decision-making and could refuse to allow you to be present, much less have a say. Assuming you have no plans to marry in the next few months, you each need to have a health care power of attorney and a financial power of attorney instrument naming the other person as "attorney in fact." Wills also need to be executed that would leave some or all of your individual estates to each other.
