Deceased, Not Married

My fiance passed away in 2021. We weren't married legally, however we lived together for 6 years and we had two children together.

I was looking at Form 1310, and I noticed how the Number 3 Option when asking what your relationship is with the taxpayer was said: "As the person claiming the refund for the decedent's estate, will you pay out the refund according to the laws of the state where the decedent was a legal resident?"

Can anyone explain that to me? I'm confused on exactly what it means. He did not have a personal representative appointed by the court, or a will. We were both legal residents of Georgia.

Yeah that just means you'll follow the laws of wills and estates in the state the deceased resided when you're distributing the property.
