More details to this question:
My boyfriend (fiancé) passed away suddenly and he was in the middle of a bad divorce. The original autopsy report was sent to his soon to be ex-wife and I need to get a copy. Do I have any rights? Plus his insurance benefits went to me as well.

You cannot inherit from him unless he named you in his will or he named you as a beneficiary on a policy, annuity or other such asset. Or, if he created a joint account with you or you held title to real property with him.
