What is the name of your state? I live in Arizona
My girlfriend died a week ago. She didn’t have a will, so I’m assuming everything of hers is going belong to her parents. My gf lived with me at my house, so all of her things are here.
The first question I have is do I have to let her parents in to get her stuff or can I pack it all up in boxes and leave it for them at the door? I do not want them in my home. We've had problems with them in the past and that's why we've never had them over here before. They are very controlling though and I’m afraid they will push the issue.
The second question is about stuff we co owned. I know we split the cost of a lot of our furniture and appliances. As well as other things like tv's and exercise equipment. What happens with that stuff?
Third question I want to ask about is what about stuff that I don't know who bought? We are both women and the same size and we often shared the same clothes and jewelry. Some of the stuff I know for sure is mine or hers, but there's some stuff I honestly can't remember who bought.
Last question is about what if I don't have proof that I purchased something that I know I bought or was gifted. I'm worried about them asking about jewelry that I know for sure is mine, but they've seen her wear on multiple occasions. What happens if I can't find any proof that it's mine?
Thank you for taking the time to answer any of these questions.
