I’m 70 my partner is also 70 . We live in the South and I have a property in the North which I rent out. My tenant will be going next year . My partner owns the property which we have recently moved into and will be leaving all to his children. I have asked if he could arrange so I can stay in the house if he dies before me . He doesn’t want to marry and so far has not made any provisions for me . I don’t fancy being turfed out of the home if he dies first. It’s making me very resentful, I feel I should leave while I’m still fit enough to start a new life some advice required from wise ladies please .

I’ve been with my partner for over 20 years. We did discuss him moving in with me many years ago. I assumed he would sell his house and buy half of mine. I would then lose the allowance I get as part of my divorce settlement. However he said he would rent out his house. Which meant that if it didn’t work out he would move back to his house and I would no longer receive my allowance. This set a few alarm bells ringing and since then I’ve kept our living arrangements separate. Our priorities are making sure our children inherit whatever is left after any future nursing home expenses we might incur in the future.
