Broke Up With Girlfriend. She Is Now Demanding Equity In My House And Payment For Caretaking

Card image cap

Hey everyone, so me and my gf broke up recently and now she is asking for repayment for investments into the house and probably an equity stake. Additionally I was in a car crash and she took care of me at home (living together) and now is demanding money for her services (giving me medicine, cleaning, chores, food prep, ect)

So with they house I bought the house it is in my name. She was my contractor on the escrow account we had with the mortgage to do renovations to the house. She is saying she went over the budget and spend more money out of her own pocket and wants compensation. But also wants someone kind of equity stake for the investments she made. We never had any signed agreement about this repayment since she got paid the 40K from the escrow account. Additionally I have paid the rent for 2 years and she started contributing for about a year.

With the care taking idk I was in an accident then bed ridden. She took care of me but she's not a licensed professional or anything like that but is demanding money for the "invoice" she made up for the work she did. I never signed any work agreements like that with her though she just made it and tried to upload it to my auto insurance claim. Anyway she wants more from that.
