Does the girlfriend have entitlement to my father's will?
My dad has terminal cancer. Recently, they (him and his girlfriend) had a disscussion about his will. My sister is his power of attorney (has also looked after his finances for the last 13 years.) She(the girlfriend) is getting the home they share (paid in full) and is also getting his car (in both their names). They've been together for the last 10 years, never married, and have separate bank accounts. She had the [U]nerve[U] to ask him if that's all she was getting! She told him she was getting a lawyer to see what her rights are and about common law marriage. We thought that his business was all in order, and this is the lastthing he needs to be dealing with. My sister and I feel that now we need to hire a lawyer, to protect his rights. Any suggestions or feedback? Thanks.
