Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania
Wills and estates
My significant other and I lived together for 10 years. We had a checking account together and purchases things from that account together. Those accounts had been canceled because of a separation a few months before he passes away of cancer, however we had gotten back together just had not reopened the accounts. He ask me to marry him 1 week before he passed away. We didn't get to do this. What are my rights if any. and what about things that he specified in his will for me. He had some medical bills and other debt. Does everything have to be paid before I can get my things?

Re: Wills and estates
First of all, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. The things that he specified in his Will to go to you should still go to you, however, anything that was titled in his sole name will be used to first pay his medical bills and debts as well as his funeral costs.
If you are named as the Executrix of his estate in his Will, I strongly urge you to speak with an attorney prior to paying any of the bills, to better determine what gets paid first and what may be avoided.
If you have any questions, I do give free consultations so please do not hesitate to contact me at 412.963.8495 or [email protected]
