Unfortunately she can't collect for her services. They were provided gratuitously and without being under contract. She also can't collect for the money she came out of pocket for in caring for her life partner. That money is considered a gift. There was no expectation or agreement of re-payment for any funds she spent on her behalf. I'm sorry.
