Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Oregon

Whether living with him or now, she is NOT his wife. Period. If he dies without a will, she gets nothing. Nada. Zippo. It will all go to his "real" wife, if he has one, and/or to his children, if he has any. If no wife, no kids, it will go to his parents (if they or either one is alive). Otherwise, to brothers and sisters, nieces and newphews. If nobody is alive, it will "escheat" (revert) to the state.
