I lost my mama 2 months ago and now I have lost my companion of almost 20 years. I found him at the lake house property he rented two weeks ago, he had passed. He was a healthy man, but had been experiencing loss of breath and was scheduled for the cardiologist to check him out on Monday, I found him on Friday. I don't believe there was a will. My hands are tied because we did not live together. There's a house between us in the neighborhood. We spent every weekend together for 20 years. I helped him with his mom, his dogs, and his house. He helped me with everything and he certainly got me through covid-19 this past year. I did see a lawyer yesterday and until we find out whether the funeral home will let me take care of him, nothing can be done. I'm not a good waiter, never have been. Any advice and much prayer is greatly appreciated.
So sorry for your losses.
You did the only thing that you could by seeing an attorney.
I hope it turns out in your favor. Unfortunately, it may take awhile to settle all of this.
It’s so sad that he died so suddenly.
Again, I am very sorry.
You may be in for a VERY long wait on this. I think legally there has to be a search for ANY relatives. (and if there is any money involved or the possibility of any money relatives come out of the woodwork)
