The state is Pennsylvania. A couple lived together for no less than 20 years. Male died in March 2005. Male's family acknowledged her as male's common law wife as well as the community, or as they say - cohabitation. The female backed up and turned her back on everything instantly. Finally, a member of the male's family became the administrator (not by choice) the end of August 2005. The female immediately files a claim at the common laws clerk office for a 20 year loan created in March 1985 against the probate; property. The females attorney friend filed for her. The loan was typed on a small paper certificate (nothing special), was signed by both parties, for $15,000. On the back, it states she can place a lien against his property anytime. This doesn't necessarily mean that it is legit - right? Didn't the statue of limitations past on this one regardless of the statement? This is nonsense! Need you help!

Cohabitation, in and of itself, does not provide enough proof of a common law marriage in Pennsylvania. Beginning this year, the state does not recognize Common law marriage. However, they do recognize common law marriages consumated before that time.
The female backed up and turned her back on everything instantly. Finally, a member of the male's family became the administrator (not by choice) the end of August 2005. The female immediately files a claim at the common laws clerk office for a 20 year loan created in March 1985 against the probate; property.
And what proof of the load did she provide?

If it is as you state, then it is a valid contract.
Didn't the statue of limitations past on this one regardless of the statement? This is nonsense! Need you help!
What you may consider nonsense, absent specific language to the contrary in the contract, is nothing more than a contract between the parties.

From the facts in your post, the woman, regardless of her relationship with the deceased (which is irrelevant to these issues) holds a valid contract and is exercising her rights thereunder.
