DEAR ABBY: I’m living with a man who has four children. We’ve been together 22 years. He claims the house will be mine upon his demise. How do I ask him to show me his will to see if what he says is true? I don’t want to have to fight his children in court, because they have the money to do it and I don’t. I work for what I have and a lot of the things in the house I have bought. Please tell me how I can approach the subject. — CONCERNED AND WORRIED

DEAR CONCERNED: Tell your partner you are worried about your future should something happen to him. Then tell him you would like a copy of his will to ensure it is up to date and to keep in a safe, secure place so there will be no misunderstandings if he predeceases you. After all these years together, your concerns are legitimate, and if he is on the level, he should want to be sure you have peace of mind and are protected.
