His girlfriend is not participating on the case, trying to cut out me and other children from benefiting.

2)how to get the letter of authority
3) doese she have a right to oppose me

Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.
If you were divorced from the deceased, and if the deceased was NOT supporting you financially, then you wouldn't have a claim against the policy.
The daughters would, and if the girlfriend was being supported by him, then she would as well.
