But thanks -

That's a great site - I've never come across it before. Most helpful, worth saving. Should be an eye opener for anyone who doesn't have a Will.

But the issue at hand, the girlfriend unless she has a will to produce can't get anything unless her name is joint on some of the property. So your first issue will be protecting the property, getting someone named in probate to handle the estate and freezing any of his accounts, and securing his property.

It seems in some states a domestic partner is entitled to a share if someone dies. Mostly going to depend on what state this is. From the site I posted it shows Cali ( go figure ) as one of the states that recognises domestic partners.

But how is "domestic partner" defined in that case?

In the case of the OP it really depends on the state that they live in. Here is a reference for Cali.

Generally a domestic partnership needs to be registered. There is no indication this was done.
