If your companion left no will that named you, you probably have no rights;  if it is at the point of conducting the auction sale, it may be too late to assert any rights you might have had.There is only a very small possibility, which would depend on some kind of proof that your companion promised to take care of you or that he would make a new will in your favor, in return for your being with him.  It's very hard to prove, if it's even possible to argue this in your state, and if you want to look into that, you need to see an attorney immediately.  One place to find a lawyer is our website: http://attorneypages.com
