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

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If he left a will or a trust naming you as beneficiary, you would be entitled to receive from his estate as he designated (whether or not you were married). If he had no such paperwork and you were not married, then you are not entitled to receive from his estate; however, if you had jointly titled assets (e.g. a house or bank account), you may be entitled to receive his share of those assets (it depends on how the title was held). I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.

No, you do not need to be married for him to leave you something in a will or for you to be the executor. He can name anyone who is not a felon to be an executor.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
If there is a probate estate, you can probably give up your interest in the land in the estate. Alternatively, you could sign a quit-claim deed to your brother.
