Obviously, whether you reimburse her for any claims against you is your choice. However, I really think you are curious about the legal requirements that she might bring forth.

If correct, then we assume that she would have to sue you to try to get reimbursed. As the Plaintiff, the burden of proof would be on her to prove that moneys or property that she gave you was in fact a loan and that there was a specific agreement of repayment. Without that proof, your position of 'gifts' is pretty solid.

Bottom line... you are not 'required' to reimburse her for anything she gave you unless ordered by a court.
