I was with my man for 14 years he just passed away am I entitled to anything?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Possibly. You can claim a common law marriage if: 1. You were both 18+ 2. You agreed to be married (this can be inferred) 3. You held yourselves out to the public as married (i.e. he introduced you as his wife) 4. You were not already married. You would then have a claim to the community property portion of his estate. This is a fairly complicated proposition. Get legal help.

Can I create a limited POA which allows me to sign medical record releases on behalf of someone?

Answered by attorney Joan M. Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
Far better to simply have them sign a medical authorization allowing you to get the records. Getting a POA exposes you to liability and I doubt your business insurance would cover it. Plus, what you are talking about is really a health care POA.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

If you are the beneficiary, then the life insurance proceeds are yours. As long as you did not guarantee the debt, you should be okay.
