Re: long time girlfriend and breakup

If you are not married to her, she has no right to your sole assets.

She does have a right to those assets which were joint assets in proportion to what she contributed.

This could get ugly. You should get yourself a lawyer to prepare for the future.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me.
