The former live-in girlfriend of a man who died in 2020 must fork over to the man's daughter half the value of the house she and her ex owned together because of a legal agreement the two made when they broke up, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ruled.
The unmarried former couple, Anthony Cirone and June Furnas, bought a house in East Longmeadow in 2013. They established joint tenancy, with the provision that if one of them died the other would inherit the deceased person's half.
