1. How was the property titled? This may be a major determining fator.
2. Quantum Meruit - this means you can recover for payments that were actually made.
3. Still entitled to 60 days Notice as a residential property tenant.

Maybe. A lot depends on the specific facts of your situation, but the important thing is to make a creditor's claim in the probate proceeding before the time limit runs. The limit is generally four months from the time probate is opened, and usually lasts no later than a year from date of death.
The claim can be based on any number of things: reimbursement of what he has paid, oral and/or written agreements between girlfriend and boyfriend, promises to take care of the boyfriend and perhaps even a putative spouse claim.
