The Civil Code of Quebec does not confer any legal status on common law partners. When one dies the other is not considered an heir at law. If the spouses wish each other to be heirs they must each have a will carefully drafted by an attorney naming the other as beneficiary.

Your father had the right to leave his property to his common law wife by his will. If there was no will then his children would be his heirs. You can get more information at the links provided below.

Do you have to mention your children in your will even if you are not leaving them anything?

You are not required by law to mention your children in your will, or anyone else for that matter. However, because the children are statutory heirs who would inherit portions of the estate if you died intestate, mentioning in the will that you are leaving them nothing may make it harder for them to successfully contest the will.
