 The couples' status of being in a "sambo" relationship, for example, does not entitle the surviving partner to inherit the property of the deceased partner; rather, the surviving partner must request the division of the common home and household goods against the deceased partner's heirs.Consequently, the surviving "sambo" receives only half of the statutory sum that is granted to widows and widowers when their spouses will their estate to other persons, whereas the inheritance and the deceased "sambo's" estate instead only passes to that person's children, parents, or other blood relations when the deceased "sambo" does not provide for the surviving "sambo" though a will, leaving the lesser statutory protection as compensation in addition to property division.While married couples have presumptive protections for the common home as well as all other property and income acquired during the marriage, same-sex "sambor" only receive the protection of the shared residence and household goods that were purposely intended and acquired for common use by the couple.
