More details to this question:
My boyfriend of 21 years always told me I would get to sell his business equipment and the money would be mine and that I could stay in the house as long as I wished even though he left the house to the kids.the will however does not read that way and when his brother obtained power of attorney ( I believe illegally) he had sold off all the equipment to pay off my boyfriend's loan.and everything else went into his bank acct.would I have a chance of recieving any of that money if I had witnesses to what he had said?

A written will is the only method to bequeath assets to a beneficiary after death. If the brother had power of attorney, as long as he acted in his brothers interests, he was free to take whatever action he deemed appropriate including selling assets. If you are not mentioned in the will, you have no claim to any of the estate.
Creditors are a different matter. If he owed you money, you can file a claim in probate seeking a share of the estate in that manner.
I trust this answers your question, and if you are in the Delaware Valley, do not hesitate to call or email on a free initial basis.
