You say "partner" so I suppouse you aren't married.
It's a mess when not having legal diocuments. PERHAPS you can get some. It depend of what will be legaly decided, but her case is much stronger than yours, because even if you have paid whole house it isn't on your land and no lease contract. Compare: Even if having a lease contract which ENDS, then the building will belong to the LAND owner.
Is the land titled?
If yes, that make your case weaker.
If you have paid the property tax and can prove it, that can support your side some.
Is the letter from a lawyer or from someone with legal rights to DECIDE (as court or Barangay Captain) or just from a lawyer?
(I guess it's just from a lawyer.) If so the case isn't decided yet.
In any case protest in WRITING saying you disagree.
If it isn't from a court, go to the barangay captain IF your partner push the case.
How long time was it since your partner left? Perhaps it can be solved by you become a couple again? That's the simplest solution
