Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Tennessee

Will & Estate

My father who is single has been living with a woman for 3 mths. She has legally changed her last name to his. He does have a will. Should anything happen to him can this woman be granted any portion of his estate based on the fact she has his last name even though they are not married?
