I have a female friend who was in a 30+ year relationship with a guy without getting married. He died with no will. She is packing to move out of their shared house as I write this, after the estate served her with eviction papers. Our state doesn't recognize common-law, and the death laws without a will say that she gets NOTHING without a wedding ring!
She considered herself married all along, and that mistake cost her dearly.....
