any assests into this persons name or anyone else.I suggest that you set up a simple estate plan to document your situation. If you would like me to assist you e-mail me a phone number to call you.

The person you live with has absolutely NO claim to any portion of your parent's estate that you might receive unless you make a gift of it to that person. Similarly, if your home is owned by you, then the other party has no claim to it.
