Common Law Surviving Wife Rights
My FATHER ( 86 ) cohabitating in NH. with girlfriend for 3.5 years. His Will and Revocable Living Trust written in Fla. specify 20% of estate to girlfriend.
Due to NH. 3yr. Common Law Marriage, what is girlfriend entitled to, 1/3 ... or a smaller percentage based upon duration of cohabitation ??? I am only surviving son of father, no offspring produced by father/girlfriend.

Merely living together does not mean common law marriage. More information is needed.

There may not be a common law marriage. New Hampshire only recognizes CLM at time of probate, however, CLM has to be established. mere "cohabitation" is not enough to establish CLM.
