Your brother has the option. He doesn't have to get married but the point is - he can. BTW, you can contest his will and will most likely be able to get the house from his girlfriend b/c she is not blood or family in the eyes of the law. He could put the house in a Trust and leave it to her that way and that would keep it out of your hands but that is his decision. As for you not going to your brother's funeral, it sounds like you do not get along. That is too bad but sibling issues and two people in love is not the same thing.

My remark was off handed and did not belong, so I'll take that.
A SS couple could do the same as my brother? Yes? Or is that a no. If not, why not?
My brother and I do get along. The issues have never been with him. I've always ignored her, pushed passed her (long ago visit) to see him. It was obvious that she was made mad by my actions, but it was also obvious to her, there was a bond made long before her, she couldn't break. She succeeded.
Now the OP

So my question to you is twofold:
1. Do you think what Steve's family did was acceptable and proper?
2. If you do not, what do you think should be done to help the situation?

Family is family and say the said woman (common law union) pushed the envelope and did the same as Steve's family, please tell me where the difference is, because now I am confused.
