SO MY MOTHER WAS MARRIED IN A COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY, AND THEN SHE SEPARATED FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS. SHE THEN MOVED AWAY FROM HER HUSBAND. DURING THOSE YEARS OF SEPARATION SHE GOT A RDP HOUSE THAT IS ON HER NAME SOLELY. SO MOTHER PASSED AWAY NOW THE HUSBAND IS BACK TO CLAIM OUR HOUSE. CAN HE CLAIM THE HOUSE EVEN IF HE NEVER STAYED IN THE HOUSE AND HE NEVER GAVE ANY CONTRIBUTION TO THE HOUSE, I HAVE WITNESS WHO CAN SAY THEY DO KNOW HIM
