asked

I have been living with my partner for 8 years, and we are both scared that getting married would mess up our relationship. We live as a married couple, but we are not legally married. The house we live in is his, and we have jointly purchased a truck. I have my own car, which I bought with money from my divorce. If something happens to my partner or if we split up, he says I would have to leave my car until I pay it off. I owe $8,000 on it. Additionally, if something happens to him, what rights do I have regarding our joint accounts and property? We put our money in his accounts, and I have Power of Attorney, but his oldest daughter is also on these accounts. How can I protect myself legally?
