You should make a will in favour of your boyfriend so that nobody can stake claims in your property after your demise and simultaneously your boyfriend is also covered with the property and he doesn’t have anything to get worked up relating to the property.

Section 15 of the Hindu Succession Act,1956 gives about the legal heirs of an unmarried woman. The list will be as follow.
1. The parents of the person will be the legal heirs of her property.
2. If any of the parents are not alive, her siblings will be the natural legal heirs of the woman.
3. If the siblings are not there, then their children will become the successors for her.
4. If there are no siblings, legal heirs of the father will be the legal heirs of that lady also.
5. If the father is not having any living legal heirs, her mother's legal heirs will be the legal heirs.
6. If the lady is having self-acquired property she can make a will and give it to anybody as per her wish.
7. If it is ancestral property it will be decided as per the list given above.
8. The lady might have declared somebody as a nominee when she saves some money in the bank and the nominee will get that money after her death.
9. Whatever money she will get from the government will go to the legal heirs as mentioned above. The person has to get the legal heir certificate from the concerned authority and then as per the procedure the legal heir should apply.
