A persons last will and testament?


if i am not married, but, in my partners will, they have written in that i will be the recipient of their money or social security or the house or whatever, will that be enough for m to get his things? or will his blood, i.e. our kids get everything anyway, because they are legally his and i am only his cause he sayd so?

If he has a will written in a way that your state recognizes, you will inherit the things he mentions.

He may have to specifically mention his blood relatives (esp children and spouse) , but his attorney will know about that.

The only social security you would currently be able to get is the $225.00 provided for burial expenses. You cannot get any social security pension he may be receiving or entitled to.

His money and property will go to whoever he names to get them in his will. Since you're not married, you will not get anything from his Social Security regardless of what he puts in his will - SS benefits are for legal spouses only.

Anything he owns but doesn't list in his will (either specifically or just by saying "the rest of my estate" etc) will be divided up according to your States rules of intestacy.

It's always possible for a child or other relative to file a lawsuit to overturn a will if they believe it was not properly executed, or if they believe the decedent was of unfit mind when he wrote it, but if the wills valid it will govern.

Not sure what you mean buy "they have written in"...who is "they"? In any event, you won't get SS benefits since that is a government entitlement, not personal property. Kids will get SS benefits (if they are minors). A will simply states where your assets go (your property, money, real estate). SS is not an asset. You also say "our" kids but then you say "his blood and "they are legally his". Also understand that you will get what is his AFTER the bills are paid so if your partner has $20,000 worth of stuff and $20,001 worth of debt (including mortgage) you will get nothing. HTH

Only thing you are entitled to by law are the items specivically "devised" in the will. The executor determines how the personal effects not specifically listed are dispensed.
Will will distribute everything according to the last wishes. There is no predetermined right for the kids just becaues they are his unless the wills says so

Certain items can only pass down to blood relatives, such as oil and mineral rights. If you are not married, you can always file for marriage by common law in certain states. Other than that, your partner may will anything to anyone, regardless of relationship other than SS.

Usually the estate goods are given to the one stated in the will. Marriage doesn't matter. Especially if you had his kids. But the rest of the blood relations can sue to keep you from getting it. Depends on what kind of people they are.
