I guess it depends upon the will, if there was one.
When my mother died, my uncle sent out copies of the wills for both of her parents.
It laid out *quite extensively I might add* a number of scenarios.
If the father died and left a will leaving his lover everything then all they can do is go through probate court and contest it.
If there is no will, then it sure as hell will get more confusing and they just may have a shot, but it may not be with the drug company unless they specifically made it out to the lover.
but it sounds as if the lover was able to act as executor of the estate if he were able to cash the check. If not there might be criminal issues involved here.
