The ONLY reason a person would request that you not be on the deed and mortgage would be to INSURE that you would have no legal right to the property. If he expects you to help pay the mortgage you would be paying for property you do not own. You and your boyfriend are not buying a house. Your boyfriend is buying a house and he wants you to help him pay for it. You would be entitled to nothing when the property is sold.

My father died without a will Mom left him 15 years before Mom is selling house Does the money go to half hers and the other half divided between his children and step children whom he didn't adopt?

Was her name still on the deed? Technically only the executor of the estate can sell the house. If they were still legally married, yes, she is entitled to part of the estate. Her children that were not his children, would not be entitled to any share of the estate.
