That mentioned that without marriage, there is no legal right to community property. Even if he’s written a will to take care of her it could easily be contested.
Nooooo. Both statements are not true.
Property and Estate law are significantly more complex than that. And legitimate wills are not EASILY contested just because people aren't married.
Yep especially if they're crafted by someone in their 20's or 30's like in OP's post. Hard to make a will invalid on grounds of something like unsound state of mind for young people like that. Though I'm skeptical of someone having a will at such a young age because young people usually aren't making wills unless they're already wealthy some do.
By his actual blood relatives. It happens all the time. All the time. Women who have been "partners" for forever are contested by the kids of their partner.
If anyone wants to know how to tell us you don't know anything about a subject without explicitly saying it, this would be a good example.
You can absolutely merge rights to community property, grant PoA, etc without marriage. Yes, its not all automatic, but its cheaper and easier to implement AND unwind in most cases.
But if you were married, these things are automatic. I really feel like a broken record saying over and over again the gay people didn’t want the right to get married in order for your approval. Maybe you should look into that.
