Re: urgent
Attorney Torrey is correct. There are no marital rights, as you stated, they were not married. There could have been promises exchanged to 'care for' one another or similar, that would give rise to the type of possible recovery referred to by Atty Torrey.
Re: urgent
Quite possibly, but not from a "marital" community property aspect. However, your aunt may have strong legal and/or equitable rights regardless, and from a contractual or quantum meruit legal standpoint.
