They have joint accounts, and joint ownership of a house, and his daughter is trying to get him to leave the house to her, and everything to her family
1 Answer from Attorneys
Without a will and a partnership agreement, as well as appropriate powers of attorney in case of disability or health needs, a partner probably doesn't have any substantive rights. I would recommend a will, trust, power of attorney upon disability, and power of attorney for healthcare decisions. You can also title certain property as joint tenants with rights of survivorship for further protection. Please call or email me if you would like me to prepare these documents for you. www.johndmoorepa.com
